This woman may even be dumber than her hero Bernie!
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
✔ @Ocasio2018
$21 TRILLION of Pentagon financial transactions “could not be traced, documented, or explained.”
$21T in Pentagon accounting errors. Medicare for All costs ~$32T.
That means 66% of Medicare for All could have been funded already by the Pentagon.
And that’s before our premiums.
The Daily Wire’s Ryan Saavedra reached out to Brian Riedl, Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute, who said “the Department of Defense has not even spent $21 trillion in the over 70 years that it has existed. The entire Pentagon budget from 1789-2018 has only totaled $18 trillion, which is based on records from the Office of Management and Budget.”
He added that “there is certainly waste to cut from defense and all other federal departments. But Members of Congress should have the basic budgetary familiarity to understand that a $500 billion department (over the period covered) cannot waste $21 trillion.”

You don't recover from chitting on your base, and then wiping your ass with the bill of rights. He will now be lucky to make it one term.
