We’re honestly amazed that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is able to stand up, what with her petite frame trembling under the staggering weight of her colossal brain. And make no mistake: it takes an impressive brain to come up with such a rock-solid case for Medicare for All as the one she’s come up with.

Here’s the brilliant tweet in question:
The folks writing checks for a new Space Force are the same ones asking “how are you going to pay for” public college or healthcare.
This is the richest country in the world. Our problem isn’t a lack of money. It’s a lack of good priorities.
And that is something we can change. https://t.co/BGXPbdlGjC

I drive a mid-sized sedan. Why can't I take the same money that I used to buy the mid-sized sedan and buy a fleet of Lamborghinis?

For me, this is a simple and easy question to answer: a strong military is a core function of a proper, limited government; coercively redistributing wealth or providing "free" health care (or most other goods or services) is not. https://t.co/NKjEc5TrdT

This woman claims to have an economics degree. This woman is a U.S. Representative.
She asks a lot of stupid questions.
