Money for bombs is free and easy to find. Money for medicare-for-all will break the bank.
The jig is up Tom.
Washington (CNN)Democratic congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez questioned why Republicans are happy to pay for tax cuts and “unlimited war” but the GOP, and some Democrats, don’t see “Medicare-for-all” or other progressive ideas as financially feasible.
“People talk about the sticker shock of Medicare-for-all, but not of our existing system,” Ocasio-Cortez said during an interview on CNN’s “Cuomo Prime Time.”
“This is not a pipe dream. Every other nation does this — why can’t America?” she added.
Later on the show, Ocasio-Cortez said there’s a certain amount of hypocrisy coming from lawmakers who criticize her platform while ignoring a “$2 trillion check for a GOP tax cut.”
“When it comes to tax cuts for bills and unlimited war,” she said, “we seem to invent that money very easily.”
Tom’s billboard outside of Milton speaks volumes about his level of panic.
