I bet he couldnt believe he had to explain this to a member of Congress.  Probably wouldn't have seemed strange to have to explain it to a fifth grader.  Unbelievable

Mayor explains driving Amazon out of NYC doesn't mean tax 'breaks' can actually be spent now

They had an agreement with the people of New York City.

And after the deal was sealed, New York wanted to renegotiate.

It has been renegotiated  Smiley ...

And AOC thinks she has 2.7 Billion dollars in her pocket now.  Even Donald Trump couldn't negotiate a deal like that.

I heard another left pol (can't remember name) saying it was bad that Trump might take money from the Defense budget to build the wall. THE DEFENSE BUDGET! What does she think a wall is?

Some voted for her.

Are they really this mind numbingly dumb.

Nuttin else to complain about apart from the wall.

Maggie Thatcher once said the problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.  Maybe AOC knew they were running out, and needed another source, so she made up a new kind of money to spend.

This is a common intentional obfuscation used by the more intelligent thought leaders on the left, confusing "stealing less of someone's money" with "Giving them money", evidently some of the lower intelligence foot soldiers on the left have started to drink their own Kool Aid and can no longer tell the difference.

A similar situation exists where our friends on the left often go on and on about the billions of dollars "given" to the oil industry every year, whereas it's not like the government is writing a check to Exxon, it's just that the government has agreed to steal less of Exxon's money.

Huge difference between those two things.

Kinda of like when the budget is frozen and the dems characterize it as a budget cut since they didn't get the increase they wanted.

Or like when Obama settled for less new spending than he wanted and called it a budget cut

When you're being called out for being ignorant of economics by a guy who went down to central America to help the communist Sandinistas in their fight for communism, you might be a weeeeeee bit too far out there...

She threw out the whole salad because she didn't want to give up a couple tomatoes. Yet since she saved those tomatoes she thought she could then spend them on something else.  Reminds me of buying a car with a trade in.  You are so happy to get a big price for your old car you end up over paying for the new one with a smile on your face.

There's basically two possibilities here:

1. She's really that dumb.
2. She's not really that dumb, and just wants to make sure as many of her constituents are poor and at the mercy of the government for their daily bread as possible.

I just hope AOC didn't get taxpayer help in getting her economics degree from Boston University. If she did, then I want my money back! I also wonder what the staff at BU thinks when they hear her talking about spending and taxes. I'll bet there's a lot of head scratching!

She's really that dumb. A few weeks ago she was hoping to take back all three chambers of government.  crazy2

She first said she wanted to take back all three chambers of Congress.  Then she oh I meant three chambers of government.

she is a Fifth Column member of  the Justice Democrats
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justice_Democrats

In the 2018 elections, 26 of the 79 candidates endorsed by Justice Democrats won their respective primary elections. Seven of these candidates won in the general election: Raúl Grijalva, Ro Khanna, Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Pramila Jayapal.

their platform encourages many progressive priorities,[5][21] [5][22] such as:

    Creating a new infrastructure program called the "Green New Deal"
    Discontinuing arms sales to countries that violate human rights such as Saudi Arabia and Egypt
    Enacting a federal jobs guarantee, which would promise all Americans a job paying $15 per hour plus benefits
    Ending the death penalty
    Ending the practice of unilaterally waging war, except as a last resort to defend U.S. territory
    Ending the War on Drugs in favor of legalization, regulation, and taxation of drugs, and pardoning all non-violent drug offenders and treating all drug addicts
    Ensuring free speech on college campuses and supporting net neutrality
    Ensuring universal education as a right, including free public college and university education
    Ensuring universal healthcare as a right
    Establishing paid maternity leave, paid vacation leave, and free childcare
    Expanding anti-discrimination laws to apply to homosexual and transgender people
    Expanding background checks on firearms and banning high capacity magazines and assault weapons
    Funding Planned Parenthood and other contraceptive and abortion services, and recognizing reproductive rights
    Implementing electoral reform and publicly financed elections nationwide to make irrelevant and obsolete fundraising from large corporations and the wealthy
    Implementing instant-runoff voting nationwide in an effort to make third-party and independent candidates more viable
    Implementing the Buffett Rule, ending offshore financial centers, "chain[ing]" the capital gains and income taxes, and increasing the estate tax
    Making the minimum wage a living wage and tying it to inflation
    Pardoning Edward Snowden, prosecuting CIA torturers and DoD war criminals, shutting down the Guantanamo Bay detention camp and all other extrajudicial prisons, and ending warrantless spying and bulk data collection by the National Security Agency
    Passing the Paycheck Fairness Act
    Abolishing the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE)
    Reforming police by mandating body cameras, establishing community oversight boards, eliminating broken windows policing, ending stop and frisk, and appointing special prosecutors to hold police accountable in courts
    Renegotiating other free trade deals CAFTA-DR, and NAFTA and opposing the Permanent Normal Trade Relations with China and the World Trade Organization
    Stopping any reductions to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, and establishing single-payer universal healthcare
    Stopping anthropogenic climate change through an ecological revolution and upholding the United States' participation in the Paris Climate Agreement
    Uncompromisingly rejecting President Trump's immigration proposals and policies, particularly the Executive Order 13769 and deportation of illegal immigrants, and implementing comprehensive immigration reform which will give non-criminal illegal immigrants a path to citizenship
