"Ocasio-Cortez broke with Pelosi Thursday by voting 'no' against a Democratic rules package. Two other progressives also opposed the rules: Hawaii Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard and California Rep. Ro Khanna."
The move was an embrace of deficit spending / an acknowledgement / declaration that the Democrats planned to spend without having the money to fund their ideas, which 'PayGo' mandates.
"That rule requires that any new mandatory spending for entitlements or tax cuts be offset by other separate revenue increases (such as tax hikes) or budget-cutting measures so that the new spending does not expand the federal deficit."
AOC explained that, as she believes, actually being required to have the money to fund the Socialist Democrat agenda and socialist hand-outs they have planned - like their big government explosion and specifically their plan for a complete government take-over of health care - is a "dark political maneuver designed to hamstring progress on healthcare".
"The democratic socialist characterized the rules package on Wednesday as a "dark political maneuver designed to hamstring progress on healthcare" and other legislation."
I know what she means and agree with her fully - being required to ACTUALLY HAVE THE MONEY required for me to buy a huge new house, a car to go on elaborate vacations, and to live an elitist lifestyle is a "dark political maneuver designed to hamstring MY progress".
