Ok, so we know this post was sent before Senate Democrats caved and signed the funding bill, but the fact that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was trying to use numbers and math to convince her pals in the Senate somehow to keep the government shutdown ...
We just had to share it.
Did she really think telling us that taxpayers are basically giving individuals at least $9000 EACH every year? Maybe she didn't actually do the math because woof.
Take a look:
The average monthly SNAP benefit is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit is up to $550 a person/mo.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
Working people want leaders whose word means something.
If people are working, they probably shouldn't qualify for entitlements.
Jut sayin'.
Is AOC the dumbest member of congress?

Is this a trick question? Because it feels like a trick question.
Although with Jasmine Crockett and Eric Swalwell in the House, they may be giving Sandy a run for her stupid money.
You were cheerleading for the very same insurance companies you decry to get billions of dollars in taxpayer money. pic.twitter.com/7Co40vaMFg

Socialists are gonna be socialists.
The rich get richer while everyone else gets poorer.
A lot more people use SNAP than use the extended ACA subsidies—about twice as many! Also, the expanded ACA benefits were supposed to be a temporary measure, not a permanent expansion of Obamacare.

Psh, don't confuse AOC with facts.
Facts are oppressive and stuff.
I still can't figure out why you're so inclined to give tons more $ to insurance companies via government subsidies. Wouldn't it be better to give that money directly to the people and let them decide?

Oooh, ooh, we know why!
You mean like “if you like your doctor you can keep yours doctor”? That kind of word by a leader?

Oof.
Sandy should admit that as a socialist, she wants Americans stuck on single payer so the government has more control over our lives. Ultimately, that's what all Democrats want at this point. They've shifted so far left that they're not really even Democrats anymore.
Which makes Republicans almost centrist ... crazy times we're living in.
