Good lord they are obsessed with her. I regularly check on FN in an effort to have variety among the sources I use to generate my own opinion + see how it matches the sudden onslaught of talking points that seem to flood the board from our resident Trumptards...and I can always find a slew of AOC articles.

So much crush on a freshman member from a state thousands of mikes away.

 

It’s pretty obvious that a decision has been made by the Republican establishment to highlight her. I’m guessing they feel her behavior is juvenile and that her beliefs are out of line with the average American. It’s a calculated risk to be sure.

Yep, my phone autocorrected some words that I did not want. I mean shit it's like people have never heard of Ben Shapiro memes. 

I just wanted to add the AOC part for flavoring since this is her thread and it'll take a lot money for her Green New Deal, cause she thinks we will be gone by 12 years, if we don't work on the environment now. I don't understand how that doesn't make sense. 

Hell if you want to say he's shit and I'm regarded that's fine by me as well that's okay too.

Its obvious why they highlight her. She is the living, breathing, embodiment of everything the GOP and FOX News have trained their horde to hate. Democrat, educated coastal liberal, young, openly espouses socialist politics, brown, woman in power, etc. Nothing motivates in politics like anger and hate. They want to rile up the base.

She's a gaffe a minute nutjob hellbent on destroying the country with socialist policies, and she's getting broad support from a large portion of the population. Just like you clowns here, she's trying to defend the indefensible. That's got nothing to do with ethnicity or hate, it's reasoned analysis of her proposals.

If you don't understand the media (both sides) is a perpetual outrage machine, and doesn't not represent "society at large" I don't know what to tell you. I don't think Anthony Weiner represents most liberals, nor does AOC. Mike Pence may be a huge moron, Trump certainly is, I still want them there because they largely support the policies I support.

It's not that complicated.

When you can explain where the federal government is going get the taxes to increase its revenue by 80% to pay for Medicare For All, let me know. When you can explain how society will work in ten years when the cars are all gone, again, please let us all know.

Some debates are over. Socialism enslaves people and destroys economies. Although this isn't up for debate, it doesn't stop clowns from pretending socialism is great.Just because an argument has been won doesn't mean people will understand this. 

Normal, sane people know we aren't going to raise taxes by $3.2 trillion next year. That's 15% of GDP. It would destroy the economy overnight. Did I mention Medicare is already bankrupt, and the federal government is approaching insolvency?

We are, I hope, reaching peak lunacy. AOC is a freak show not a role model. You guys are what's interesting, not her. She's just a run of the mill waitress who's never been told held accountable.

It's not good for the country to tolerate this kind of nonsense.

We'd have a lot more money in the treasury if your buddies hadn't passed a massive tax break for people who don't need it.  You probably think that was a great idea even if you didn't personally benefit from it.

I am happy to. As soon as you explain how any of her policies can work. Her New Green Deal will cost $93 trillion. What property could Denmark have that would make that affordable? I mean, we would already be bankrupt from Medicare For All, but let's pretend that didn't happen.

She doesn't even tout the most important benefit of her New Green Deal Plan. Which is that everyone is going to get a lot skinnier. Diabetes? She has the solution. Why doesn't she say that? We can all ride bikes to work. Gonna be great.

Young Congressional staffers usually make $30,000 to $35,000 per year. But if you work for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, you'll earn a lot more.


The outspoken congresswoman from New Yorkwho supports a wide range of progressive initiatives grouped together as the "Green New Deal" and has proposed a 70% marginal tax rate on the richest Americansrecently confirmed that she will pay all of her staffers what she considers to be a living wage in pricey Washington, D.C.: $52,000 a year or more.

That's significantly higher than what many entry-level Congressional employees make. According to Glassdoor, the average Congressional staff assistant salary is about $31,500 per year.
In some cases, working for Ocasio-Cortez, 29, is more lucrative even than serving under President Donald Trump in the White House. As of 2018, many White House office staffers with job titles like staff assistant, associate director, information services operator, and records management analyst had salaries of $40,000 to $45,000.

Ocasio-Cortez (or AOC, as she is also known) said months ago that all lawmakers should pay a decent living wage to their staffers. Now she says she is putting her money where her mouth is. AOC has also vowed to pay her interns at least $15 an hour, whereas many members of Congress expect interns to work for free.

How is AOC able to pay her staffers higher salaries than other congressional aides receive? Every member of Congress receives a Members' Representational Allowance, or MRA, which includes roughly $1 million per year for personnel. It's up to members of Congress to decide how to split up that money among their staffers.


In order for AOC to pay her youngest and most inexperienced staffers higher wages compared to their peers in Washington, D.C., she is also paying lower-than-usual salaries to more senior members of her staff. Roll Call reported that AOC staff salaries will be capped at $80,000, which is about half of what an experienced chief of staff in Congress can expect to make. (Ocasio-Cortez herself will earn $174,000 per year, which is standard for members of Congress.)

Corbin Trent, Ocasio-Cortez's communications director, told Roll Call that he is willing to take a pay cut the father of two children earns $67,000 per year to help pursue his boss's progressive agenda. "Part of walking the walk is understanding that everyone is going to have a little bit of a struggle," said Trent. "You divide it up. You work together."
Critics have attacked AOC for her decision to pay entry-level staffers $52,000 a year, at the same time she is paying below-market wages to some of her employees. "It's actually socialism and communism on display," the "Fox & Friends" weekend co-host Pete Hegseth said over the weekend.

According to MIT's living wage calculator, an adult living on his or her own in Washington, D.C., with no dependents, needs to earn at least $37,000 before taxes to make ends meet. That may be underestimated; the calculation factors in $1,500 per month for housing expenses, whereas the average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the city is around $2,000.

Is the president running around proposing policies which would destroy the economy? He's clearly an imbecile but as long as he supports small government policies I will support those same policies.

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/11/business/trump-tax-cuts-revenue.html

"Without adjusting for inflation, the economy grew an estimated 4.9 percent last year—and revenues fell by 1 percent.

After adjusting, it looks even worse. Revenues fell by 2.7 percent — or $83 billion — from 2017. Contrast that with the last time economic growth approached 3 percent, back in 2015. The economy grew by 2.9 percent after adjusting for inflation that year — and tax revenues grew by 7 percent."

AOC is nothing like Hillary. Hillary isn't liberal, Hillary is just a fucking crook. AOC seems to sincerely be interested in something other than her own bank account. That she doesn't know much of anything about most of the things she rails against and for is beside the point.

wait a minute.  So does Bush get credit for turning around the recession in the 1st term of Obama's presidency?  Such a stupid debate.  I am going to let you in a secret.  The president has little impact on our economy.  Markets go through cycles and there is not a whole lot a president can do to affect it.  So all this talk about X president did this or that for the economy is most of the time nonsense.  Hey guess what a recession is coming.  Who knows when but it will happen.  Guess what, the economy will recover to new highs.  

The predictions of recession by economists are based on the effects of the trade war and Trump's tariffs hitting American companies who are tied into the global economy (get steel from overseas, sell their cars in China, etc.). So yeah, the president would have a fairly big impact on our economy if his policies took us from prosperity to recession. If the economy goes into recession, Trump will get destroyed in 2020. Just like Bush 41.
