Far be it from us to tell you how to parent your kids, but if we may, we’d like to humbly suggest that you don’t let them study economics at Boston University.
Because AOC studied economics at Boston University, and this is her take on Joe Biden’s $2-trillion infrastructure proposal:
Rep. Ocasio-Cortez calls Pres. Biden's infrastructure plan a "very inspiring vision," is concerned $2.2T is not enough to realize it.
"We are in a devastating economic moment…we're the wealthiest nation in the history of the world. So, we can do $10T."https://t.co/KxK7uijBWw

Here, maybe if you listen to her, it’ll make more sense.
April Fools! It makes less:
And here is the part where Rep. Ocasio-Cortez mentions the 10 trillion number that caught @Lawrence 's attention.
We'll have the full @AOC interview published later tonight. pic.twitter.com/y7ZXNr9sht

We’re the wealthiest nation on earth! Of course we can swing $10 trillion! At the very least!
My oh my! Ten trillion from the woman in white! Do I hear 11? A fancy 11 Trillion for the richest nation on earth? Mere pennies. 11 Trillion on the board… https://t.co/nLTIE9oGGG

Why stop there? Let’s do 50 trillion

Why not 100 thousand trillion?
Wft @AOC

Why not $100T? Or $100Q?

There’s an unlimited supply of zeroes at our disposal. Might as well use ’em, right? It’s just smart policy. How could anyone possibly be against it?
Where the hell is all this money coming from ????

The Enchanted Forest of Money Trees.
I notice that she doesn't say how to pay for her 10 trillion.
I can think of great ways to help US citizens that would cost 100 trillion but I have no idea how to pay for it.
Reality has to come into the discussion at some time.— Carol Stanton (@castanton) April 1, 2021
10 trillion @AOC has no sense for the national debt or economics https://t.co/ahbHnmgAfs

She's insane! Crap! Put duct tape on her. Jeez! We are $30 trillion in the hole right now!

This idiot has no idea what a budget is and it can't be more obvious

Budgets are as mysterious to her as garbage disposals.
She’s insane. Stop talking like this. You’ll bankrupt this nation more than it already is. Just wow
