Yup, you're right, America would much rather have an unelected cabal of corporate executives, bankers and billionaires making these same decisions for us. A government of the people, by the people and for the people needs less people!!!
Never said we didn’t. The tax cuts were completely irresponsible. Spending is what needs to be cut. Progressives are going to have to raise taxes on everyone considerably, not just the top, if we are going to implement something that cost $40 trillion over the next 10 years. Thinking that you can pay for it out of just the wealthy is naive. The half the country not paying anything think yeah this sounds great, but they'll be in for sticker shock when they see their paycheck shrink considerably to pay for it.
I get this place is an echo chamber that thinks government is the answer to everything, but much of America doesn’t want to see the size of Fed gov grow exponentially. You can find polls where people say yeah sounds great, but if you follow up and ask do you want to see the size of government triple or whatever it would be I think you’d see a lot less enthusiasm.
Then start by slashing the military by half, it’s still 5X more instead of 10X more than the rest of the military powers,they should be fine.No we don’t have to have a New Deal in order to prosper. No the government isn’t meant to shower us with goodies. Yes we need to cut government spending.

Admittedly don’t vote in local elections much. Voted Bush - Obama - Obama - Trump. Dunno who I’ll vote for in 2020. This is all beside the point.
It’s really not - you voted for Republicans even knowing how utterly fiscally irresponsible they are. It makes your questions about fiscal responsibility ridiculous.
I voted for a Democrat knowing the same. We haven’t had a legitimately fiscally responsible person near the White House in who knows how long. Presented with one I’d wear the buttons and fly their flag in my yard. Republicans slashing taxing is fiscally irresponsible. Democrats promising shit they can’t pay for is fiscally irresponsible. Ocasio-Cortez is fiscally irresponsible. And she also bans the press. Cheers
Obama was very fiscally responsible.
Lol
Bush and Trump aren’t either, but let’s not kid ourselves..
You need to look at the actual numbers. Pull away from your ideology.
No we don’t have to have a New Deal in order to prosper. No the government isn’t meant to shower us with goodies. Yes we need to cut government spending.
By changing the tax structure, closing loopholes, etc. And by getting money out of politics, no hidden money PACs and such. .

What you don’t do is try to promise people unrealistic things and say the rich will pay for it and they’ll be no consequences. Reality is if you want to implement Ocasios proposals everyone is going to have to be paying for it heftily, and we have no idea what the consequences will be (and there will be plenty).
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you are a democrat.
He just tries to talk like one when it's convenient.
The crisis sparked the most volatile week for financial markets since the 2008 crisis, with the stock market trending significantly downward. Prices of government bonds ("Treasuries"), rose as investors, anxious over the dismal prospects of the US economic future and the ongoing European sovereign-debt crisis, fled into the still-perceived relative safety of US government bonds. Later that week, the credit-rating agency Standard & Poor's downgraded the credit rating of the United States government for the first time in the country's history, though the other two major credit-rating agencies, Moody's and Fitch, retained America's credit rating at AAA. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) estimated that the delay in raising the debt ceiling increased government borrowing costs by $1.3 billion in 2011 and also pointed to unestimated higher costs in later years.[1] The Bipartisan Policy Center extended the GAO's estimates and found that delays in raising the debt ceiling would raise borrowing costs by $18.9 billion.[2]

You dodge the central point entirely which is how middle America gets a bigger piece of the pie if not via more socialistic means. The short answer is that we don't & the last 35 years prove it to be true.
She'll certainly get the whole Socialist movement on it's way, it will just take longer but as we all knowYea, because our economy, infrastructure, is EXACTLY the same as Venezuela so ANY change to ANY domestic policy will result in the horror stories you trot out. Another fuck-tard victim of Fox news.
No.Are you claiming that Republicans have never banned the press from a public event? Or that Trump's populist rhetoric (including that the free press is the enemy of the American People) doesn't sound at all like Chavez's did?
