Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (democratic socialist) wins NY primary

[Gameface]

Well, I certainly haven't.

Tbh, like Ocasio-Cortez said once, I'm really not an expert on the matter.

I just want to make sure...

You know the video you posted was of Ocasio-Cortez doing a completely different interview and they edited it, adding an interviewer who never actually interviewed her asking questions that had nothing to do with the answers, right? In other words, it was a fake video.

Just think: if they got free healthcare, they would be more likely to stay and work for the extra money.

You mean, the irony that they gain the most from the US system, so they should shoulder most of the cost? Yeah, I see that.

By most of the cost, do you mean all of the cost?

Like I said, people often change when their skin is in the game.

But what happens if we take their incentives away while increasing their amount paid? But hey, you think people are going to work *more* if they get everything for free. Be honest, how many people have you had to hire/fire? It adds an element of perspective. Through job services, where we are required to let anybody who wants to work (and these are people who legit NEED work), the amount who were good are far, far outweighed by the bad. And please be aware it wasn’t a skills issue, it was an effort issue. And these aren’t the extreme outliers, mockers, etc. These were college graduates with lots of debt and no job. I don’t feel bad for them at all. A little bit of foresight and work ethic goes a long way towards making your life better.

How does the government find the money to pay for unlimited military spending?

By going trillions of dollars into debt. Increased social programs will only exacerbate the situation.

By most of the cost, do you mean all of the cost?

To go with the vast majority of the income, close to all of the disposable income.

But what happens if we take their incentives away while increasing their amount paid?

You were the one who mentioned that they didn't want to lose their free healthcare. Forcing them to be impoverished to keep their healthcare is a counter-incentive. You're not in favor of removing counter-incentives?

But hey, you think people are going to work *more* if they get everything for free.

Actually, you said they had to work less to get something free.

Be honest, how many people have you had to hire/fire?

Enough to know I never want to be in management again.

It adds an element of perspective.

I'm confused; who asked you to feel bad for anyone? I just pointed out that free healthcare would free up people to work (and, BTW, to be able to take on more risk in their employment), and that the people who get the most benefit from the system are rightly shouldering the most cost.

It wouldn't exacerbate it if you simply spent less on military.

The shoulder the brunt of the tax burden already but some people want them to pay more(their fair share). They. Already. Do.

Doing more with less has been the model of at least the last 10-15 years in the military. They're already in a difficult spot.

How about doing less with less?

Careful with that idea... might make 'mericans think we don't need 6 military wings.

Just want to make sure, but you realize she was roasted because she asked the same thing, right?

Like, no ****, Sherlock. Obviously.

The military’s budget has dramatically increased over the last 10-15 years. They are not “doing more with less”.
They are actually doing more with more.

A lot of that “more” is simply not needed.

He just repeats what he hears on Fox. They've been talking about how underfunded the military is for years. I mean it's slightly less than the rest of the world combined! Shameful. Lower taxes, and divert all existing taxes to the military.

People deserve Trump.
