    Sometimes we take for granted exactly how radical ideas like Social Security, the VA, and public schooling really are: that we will care for our elders, provide healthcare, and educate *all* children in America free of cost at the point of service.https://twitter.com/60minutes/status/1081162243327356928 …

        "Free of cost at point of care" means you pay taxes and have access to the service without additional cost. Good job showing you can't read though. 😂😂😂

        Makes no sense to make this distinction. SS is paid for by people for 30 plus years- then maybe you get some of it back.

        Based on his reasoning, and missing the point, I think it is for the best that he doesn’t have access to more money.

        She could confiscate ALL your wealth — not just taxes — but literally take all your property and she still would not have enough to pay for replacing our electrical grid, forcing us to drive cars we don’t want and provide free education and healthcare for all.

        In 2015, total household net worth was $85 trillion, so I'd guess that, given your parameters, she could pay for those things.

        The Forbes 400 of USA billionaires in 2017 was an estimated $2.7 trillion. Keep in mind much of that wealth is based on stock valuation not money in the bank and hard assets like real estate. The current USA national debt is $21 trillion. You figure it out.

        "dunked" because he brought out a figure which has nothing to do with the conversation at hand. Cool story bro.

        I think it is. We r 21 T in debt. So we have to pay that before giving things away. We have loads of big states w unfunded pensions, finally his points about Valuation vs real cash out monies should have given u pause.

        Totally understandable, I didn't make a value judgement on the meats of any suggested actions. He made an easily disprovable statement, I disproved it, he came back with something not related... It's super easy to follow as the tweets are time stamped and everything

        @AOC can you kindly respond to my paragraph by paragraph walkthrough of #GreenNewDeal on @DailyClout? I want to support one but yr 11 pages are a shocking unaccountable power grab by 15 people, VCs, "new banks", the Fed Reserve (a private entity) - w option of nO PUBLIC HEARINGS.

        Yes, this is a great general set of goals, but there is difference between a general set of goals and what @AOC presented, ie draft changes to Congressional rules w/ basis for draft legislation. The overview is lovely but has zero legislative weight. Draft changes to Congress do.

        Gosh I don't mean to be rude but you REALLY need to read @AOC's 11 Google doc pages. They AREN'T a general set of goals. They are changes to how Congress works, setting up a committee of 15 folks to run unlimited sums in opaque financial instruments, w option of no public hearing

        According to the #Constitution📜, each House makes up their own rules. It says nothing about about public comment on those rules nor any legislation that they create.

        Constitution doesn’t. Legislative process does require disclosure and publication. That’s how we at @DailyClout get our API feed. This structure for #greennewdeal bypasses that transparency. Also why support an opaque agenda?

        I do not not support non-transparency in any form. Which process takes publication and disclosure and what prevents Congress from changing those processes?
