She is powerful for the above reasons, and some people are going to react adversely to that.
She's a dunce. "I can't wait to get to Washington to start signing bills into law"

50% of the country earns LESS then $30.000
Spending 200% more then ANY other country on healthcare... and getting WORSE results!
30 Million without any insurance.
500.000 medical bankruptcies each year.
50.000 dead Americans each year due to lack of healthcare.
Student debt is 4-5 times larger then ANY other country.


Thats your Far Right capitalism for you!

And that is after GOP has cut, cut, cut, cut taxes and deregulated whatever it could.

Thats trickle down for you...
1. Stagnant wages? That's a lie
2 No job security: Huh? Another lie
3. GOP lets Corps run the country. I wish it were so. Corporations provide jobs
4. 40% of the country can't afford a $400 emergency. No one gets turned away from urgent care here.
5 50% of the county earns less than $30K. If that's so, it's due to Democrats and welfare. Not capitalism
6. Spending 200% more on healthcare. Only if you count the billions on R&D our CORPORATIONS spend on new products, something that is non-existent in the socialist countries. You leech off us.
7. 30 million without any insurance. Way overinflated. Some people don't want insurance. Free will
8. 500,000 medical bankruptcies a year. Another lie. But anyone can be insured who wants to.
9. 50,000 dead Americans due to lack of healthcare. Another lie. But the death rate is even higher in socialist countries due to rationing, something we don't do here.
10 Student debt 4-5% larger than any other country. Again, the left runs 'education' in this country. And the leftwing took over student loans from the private sector.

Sounds like 100% of the problems you mention are due to leftwing socialist influences in this country.

There. Winning.

The right call AOC stupid yet supports Individual 1. It tells you they are trying to distract and deflect from the corrupt and criminal organization that occupies the WH.

Individual 1 is the president yet he lacks judgment, moral, integrity, basic knowledge of foreign, healthcare, immigration, economic, government, defense and federal policy.

Fox News seems to have at least 2x the stories on her as everyone else combined.

No, stupid. Walmart pays it's lowest-paid workers $11/hour. Minimum wage is $7.25. So that's more 50% over minimum wage. Stupid. Not to mention, the government doesn't give Walmart a damn thing. On the contrary, they pay billions in taxes.

Honest to God, can't this field trip be over? Can't she just turn in her term paper now?

Please do, as I also have a degree in economics..
How about: free "Medicare for All," free college tuition, guaranteed federal employment at $15 an hour and free houses for the nation’s poorest. What would that cost? Who is going to pay? Show your work!

You mean like all of Europe, Canada, Australia and Japan has?

Clearly an impossible feat!

All Walmart employees are fully compensated at either market determined wages or minimum wage. There is no “tab” for taxpayers to pick up. Full time employment status or lack thereof is irrelevant.

Taxpayers are picking up the tab solely because of Wal-Mart’s practices.

“Fully compensated”...lol....can you mail me what you’re smoking? Employment status is wholly relevant as it’s literally what Wal-Mart’s practices exploit.

Libertarian fantasy-land is something else to behold.
