Contrary to what your Sociology Professor has told you about, no Socialism isn't gonna help us prosper.
Says the person who thinks the definition of socialism is "free stuff lol"
I look forward to Ocasio-Cortez explaining how she intends to fund literally anything.
Because so far, every time she's been asked, she throws out a feel good answer about how underprivileged people deserve better lives just because. Which sounds nice, in a post-scarcity fantasy world.
This continued action damages Americas legitimacy as a force for good, creates new generations of potential terrorists, and erodes American prosperity. In times when were told that theres not enough money, Republicans and corporate Democrats seem to find the cash to fund a $1.1 trillion fighter jet program or a $1.7 trillion-dollar nuclear weapon modernization program. The costs are extreme: the Pentagons budget for 2018 is $700 billion dollars: to continue fighting an endless War on Terror and refighting the Cold War with a new arms race that nobody can win.
The US government creates more terrorists with the war or terror, and it creates more poverty / single motherhood with the war on poverty. I guess this crap will continue until our financial standing implodes. ---
