Jack walked into a sports bar around 9:58 pm. He sat down at the bar next to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and stared up at the TV as the 10 o'clock news came on. The news crew was covering a story of a man on a ledge of a large building, preparing to jump.

Alexandria looked at Jack and said, "Do you think he'll jump?"
Jack said, "You know what, I bet he will."
Alexandria replied, "Well, I bet he won't."
Jack placed $30 on the bar and said, "You're on!

Just as she placed her money on the bar, the guy did a swan dive off of the building, falling to his death.
She was very upset and handed her $30 to Jack, saying, "Fair's fair... Here's your money."
Jack replied, "I can't take your money. I saw this earlier on the 5 o'clock news and knew he would jump."
Alexandria replied, "I did too; but I didn't think he'd do it again."

Jack took the money.
Alexandria went back to work in the U.S. Congress.

Back to Congress to work on the House Oversight committee...as a freshman. AOC is now a member of one of the most powerful committees in Congress and she is as stupid as they come.

@4meAndyou she is one of your only political figures talking about addressing inequality with genuine policies that will bring a semblance of that to your society. I'm a little unsure why you find that stupid?

@gol979 I have listened to her proposals most carefully. They will crash our economy and bankrupt the government, driving business and the wealthy to jump ship as we become a larger version of Venezuela. Those who genuinely care about our people and our society do not want a series of welfare state without the means to pay the welfare. It will result in starvation, the elderly will die...it would be a disaster on a scale so massive it would be worse than war.

That is why we joke about her inability to do math. It is just my personal opinion that she is stupid, because she is so short-sighted and can't see the really big picture.

True, she is addressing issues.
Also true, she is addressing them in a stupid manner.

One example - true - How to pay for healthcare for all; from all the money saved because of no funerals!

@4meAndyou how did I know you would bring Venezuela up. I can go through it again but am really getting bored of debunking that consistently used example. Just one point (there are more), look at the ramifications of sanctions and specifically those imposed by the US and the EU. Especially damaging as the US dollar is the reserve currency.

You speak about the bigger picture and that the policies she is advocating will bankrupt the country. I'm sorry but that just doesn't stack up.

Corporations filter their profits through tax loopholes, this could be solved overnight but isn't. The military budget is a disgusting $750 billion. Bigger than the next 7 countries total budgets. That's allegedly for "defence"?? Rubbish, you could slash that by 3\4 and still function at the highest level. Your renewing your nuclear weapons for over $1 trillion (psychopathic). The trillions of public money used to bail out the banks.

On top of all that, the recent Pentagon audit shows that it is just missing $21 trillion, along with 16,000 documents. That's fucking insane.

All of the policies could be afforded with just one of those budgets I have mentioned above.

Also, you may want to check what fiscal multipliers are, especially in relation to welfare.

In spite of that evidence, which is easily sourced, I'm sure this point even penetrate your consciousness??

@Budwick What I have heard is her tax plan. She wishes to tax the wealthy at 70% to pay for her programs. Apparently she has forgotten that the only reason the economy is thriving is because businesses which had bailed out and left the country are now returning due to tax cuts. Her proposals would drive business out again, and we would return to the abysmal Obama era levels. She can not legally force her proposed tax cows to remain here. and be milked.

@gol979 As the idol so the worshipper.

@4meAndyou not going to address any points I made above? You don't think any of that is just madness?
Budwick · 70-79, M
@gol979 [quote]Budwick see above[/quote]

I'm a Christian! I'm always looking up!

@Budwick haha don't try and joke your way out of it young man (good jest though) 😂
4meAndyou · F
@gol979 I think you are not an American, I thought your proposal to cut 75% of the American military budget would delight ISIS, the Russians, Iran and North Korea, and I don't think I respect your mental processes enough to continue this discussion.

@gol979 [quote]don't try and joke your way out of it young man[/quote]
Joke my way out of what?
Is it possible you've mistaken a comment of mine for someone else's?
gol979 · 41-45, M
@4meAndyou it probably would please then because you might not invade or threaten them with your hugely superior military.

Of course you don't respect my mental process. You don't like anyone having a different thought to yourself.

As I'm a dumbass you should have no problem debating the aforementioned points I made......let's leave the military budget out of it, what about the other budgets and figures I mentioned. Surely you can agree that the trillions used to bail out the banks is wrong and should/could have been used to address inequality? Surely the $21 trillion and 16,000 documents missing should at least pique your interest??
gol979 · 41-45, M
@Budwick apologies, I thought it was a riposte to my early comment
4meAndyou · F
@gol979 You and I have spoken in the past. I do disagree with you. And I believe you are wasting my time. You are a foreigner, probably a Labor Party member, and full of useless and foolish ideas. I have to get to work now.
Budwick · 70-79, M
@gol979 No problem!
Sometimes I find this site difficult to follow conversations.
gol979 · 41-45, M
@4meAndyou yes, I'm a dirty foreigner with a petit pois size intellect. But you cannot even bring yourself to even discuss the points I (granted I'm a cretin) mentioned? You should wipe the floor with me
