AOC’s view of the federal government’s purpose fails to understand why the founding fathers created it. Its job is to protect our inalienable rights & to guarantee no foreign or domestic power will ever take them from us. Health care & paying for college aren’t its priorities.

The folks writing checks for a new Space Force are the same ones asking “how are you going to pay for” public college or healthcare.
This is the richest country in the world. Our problem isn’t a lack of money. It’s a lack of good priorities.
And that is something we can change. twitter.com/BernieSanders/…

No - our problem is that we have a bloated government that spends millions of dollars of tax payer money. And people like yourself in office who want to continue to tax people and pay for massive spending bills, all while pushing for more government control.

When the founders created the republic the government wasn’t responsible for: public education, infrastructure, water management, disaster relief, electric utility, communications, space. We added those responsibilities to the government as we went.

Yes, but many of the functions you mentioned are handled by state & local government. The federal government shouldn’t be involved in things such as education. That should be a state & local issue.

It is in our national security interests to have a healthy society. If our mental health issues were addressed there would be less despair, less shootings and less suicide. Look at Utah. Suicide is the #1 killer of young people!

That’s what state & local government is for. They’re responsible for whatever isn’t handled by the federal government. As for the young people, government is not a support system. What about the parents, family member, & friends? 1/2

Fighting is not the answer.
AOC is suggesting that we change our priority by uniting to enshrine our care for our fellow human. If we do this we are all rich. She is right. Not only us, the whole planet is rich. Money is now: she is saying that US is the new now. That's right.

College used to be free and it led to the prosperity of the middle class in the US. Obviously you hate the middle class and poor.

Health care is a luxury until u get cancer. But cancer is for suckers, right? U r too cool for cancer. LOL
Bottom line: the U.S is built on genocide & slavery; not quite suitable recipes to build a sense of community.
Some would rather endure pain than enjoy communal blessing
