That is one heck of a word salad you have thrown together, but Cortez has suggested some numbers and they don't add up, especially as she has spent that money on several other of her proposals. Either she does not understand this or she knows it and does not care. Which means she is selling these proposals under false pretenses and is a fool or a liar.CmdrKing wrote: ↑Sun Feb 10, 2019 10:59 pm Oh, no, the House has to do math. They do the budgets.
But the math part of the debate is later. We’re at the “what are the options to confront this societal problem” stage, and having specific budgetary goals happens later, as programs are designed, committees convened, bills debated, tempered, and honed into something that can become law.
Like Ocasio-Cortez isn’t a genie that blinks her proposed bills into law unaltered. She’s a congresswoman putting forth ideas into the public sphere to change the national conversation on what solutions to our problems are possible, and even if her work is the core foundation of future legislation, it will assuredly be more modest and measured than her rhetoric.
The financial aspects are of critical importance. First, in whether it is feasible and as an aspect of whether it is desirable and what else does it change? How much misery are you willing to cause to implement this?
She is not a genie, she is someone with very little knowledge and too much hubris. In any organization, there are places for the competent and driven, the competent and lazy and even the incompetent and lazy. The ones you never gove authority to are the incompetent and driven. They are the ones who are likely to drive you off a cliff. I am afraid Cortez is in the last category.
