Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez botches another basic question about her platform

-
Progressives would do well not to pin their hopes and dreams on congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and not just because she’s the kind of person to mistake obvious political satire for a targeted smear job.
The rising Democratic star has shown she is ignorant on a great many issues, including her own campaign platform, which obviously is not a good look for a would-be standard bearer.
Consider, for example, how she responded this week when she was asked on "The Daily Show" to explain how she intends to pay for her Democratic Socialism-friendly policies, including her Medicare for All agenda.

That’s the only explanation for the Green New Deal, so called, the scheme birthed by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to repeal nearly everything anyone knows about economics, politics and flatulence. Among other things, she prescribes “a massive transformation of our society,” which would require upgrading or replacing every house and building in the United States “for state of the art energy efficiency,” a 10-year plan to ban nuclear energy and other fossil fuels, eliminating air travel, crossing rivers and oceans with high-speed rail to everywhere else, making sure that all new jobs are “union jobs” and to abandon technology as a way to eliminate excessive carbon in the atmosphere. Everyone, even those who don’t have a job and don’t want one, would get a government check. Perhaps most ambitious of al...

Ocasio-Cortez claimed the “upper-middle class doesn’t exist anymore.”

-
speaking with former Obama speechwriter Jon Lovett on the liberal podcast “Pod Save America,” Ocasio-Cortez claimed the “upper-middle class doesn’t exist anymore.” Ocasio-Cortez was discussing the political ideology of the country’s different socioeconomic classes when she made the claim: I think that politically, this upper-middle class is probably more moderate, but that upper-middle class doesn’t exist anymore in America, and thanks to the continued deregulation of Wall Street, thanks to the continued gutting of working- and middle-class people, we need stronger champions. However, both the   Urban Institute , and the   American Enterprise Institute  have presented evidence showing the upper-middle class is actually growing Read More,,,
