Ocasio-Cortes to be quite enlightening.\u00a0 You may also find that to be true.<\/p>\n<p>But hey, don\u2019t fall down laughing until you get to the responses to AOC\u2019s proposals, which are in the video.<\/p>\n<p>I swear I have run into dumbass people before, but she takes the cake with her pure ignorance of everything related to taxes and government budgets and spending programs.\u00a0 Whether or not she has improved since 2018, I cannot really determine because her level of responses to real-world, real-time issues now falls somewhere between a tenuous grasp of the reality of the world, and her return to the bubble-brained idea that somehow, somewhere, she&#8217;ll find the $92 trillions she wants to spend on her Green New Deal. I don&#8217;t think she has changed much at all since 2018.<\/p>\n<p>To be frank, I have serious doubts that she has ever been anywhere outside a city like Washington or New York, and is not truly aware of the reality of the vast lands outside of cities, which are either cropland or wilderness. If she had to go campaign in Iowa, the hogs would likely scare her to pieces.<\/p>\n<p>Essentially, her notions of how to do things are eminently impractical, period.<\/p>\n<p>She is, however, our own and priceless while she&#8217;s at it.<\/p>\n<p>Grab a cold one and a snack, and enjoy the show.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=geRBpjOPfGo&amp;feature=emb_rel_end\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=geRBpjOPfGo&amp;feature=emb_rel_end<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have found this video of a 2018 interview with Rep.
