Ocasio-Cortez Complains About Not Getting Congressional Paycheck Yet: ‘How Do I Get An Apartment?’

[Avatar4321]

How in the hell did she afford to pay rent in NYC? Just as expensive as DC is isn't it?

She still lives in NYC -- its not as easy to pay DC rent and NYC rent -- especially if you are NOT a rich elitist....

I find it funny that Trump lovers are mocking a woman for not being rich or elite, for not being establishment -- and most importantly, you are mocking a woman who didn't use her campaign funds for her own personal expenses (Duncan Hunter) -- and who didn't have lobbyists rent her homes at dirt cheap prices (Scott Pruitt) -- but you folks want to talk about "drain the swamp"??

Trump supporters are pathetic...

Maybe that’s why she’s running on everything is free, but don’t ask how she’s gonna pay for it!

She knows how to pay for it.

She scares the hell out of you wingnuts. I love it.

Stupid people with power to screw up your lives are scary to most rational people

Then produce your posts criticizing the election of Louis Gohmert and Ted Yoho.

Gohmert is an idiot now? Who is Yoho? Was either worried about Guam capsizing?

and paying their wages,

take them off the Federal Payroll

You expect them to work for free?

A sure way to get only the wealthy to serve

You expect them to work for free?

I didn't say that.

I said make their state pay their salary.

Take if off the Federal Budget.

Prevent them from raising their salaries themselves

I’ll support that when they change to a representative Senate. North Dakota, with a total population equal to a New Jersey town, shouldn’t have the same number of Senators as Texas, Florida, California, or New York.

Right...

Want to stack the Supreme Court as well?


2 per state.

works out fine

It’s not representative democracy. It penalizes states that people actually want to live in and gives power to badly run states that people leave, because they’re badly run states.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Slams Fox News For Laughing At Her DC Rent Problem

What a bimbo

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Slams Fox News For Laughing At Her DC Rent problem Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who this week became the youngest woman ever elected to Congress, called out Fox News for belittling her struggle to afford an apartment in Washington, D.C., during a Friday panel discussion on “America’s Newsroom.”

• 
  The Fox panelists snickered all the way through their chat on the topic, described in a chyron as: “Self-proclaimed socialist says she can’t afford DC rent.”
  
  Contributor Judy Miller actually laughed after host Bill Hemmer recalled that Ocasio-Cortez ― whose name no one pronounced correctly on the show ― was working in the service industry before she launched into her campaign to represent New York’s 14th District.

They elected a beggar...a disgusting socialist whore...an anchor baby.

 

[Synthaholic]

Idiots in DC bring nothing to our economic engine.

I’ll remember this the next time Trump brags about how many jobs he created (even though it’s less in his first 21 months than Obama’s last 21 months).

I’m sure you’ll be right there to post how wrong Trumpy is.

 

[AZGAL]

She is being mocked for making zero plans for an expense she knew would be coming and claiming the government is flawed because she won’t get paid until she starts work

perhaps she can live on a park bench and take up the cause of poverty in an authentic way

 

[Synthaholic]

Elitist self righteous jerks seem to flock to Fox News, birds of a feather flock together.

It really is something to see 1% salaried news anchors laughing at poor people.

 

[Synthaholic]

How in the hell did she afford to pay rent in NYC? Just as expensive as DC is isn't it?

Rent control in New York....? or she was in a co-op, or she had a roommate or two or three,or lived with family...?

Yes, rents in DC where a congressman would live and is safer, are very expensive...

There is great demand for these safer areas from not only Congress Critters, but also, law firms and Lobbyists, and Political Action groups... high demand and a very limited area of safer Rentals would make it hard for most middle class, to live there.

She'll be getting her $170,000 plus salary in January and will probably need to bunk on someone's couch, until then....

A Congressman is living in DC on behalf of his state
The state should pick up his housing costs

I like this idea but why should California be penalized, paying for 55 residences while Wyoming pays for only 3 residences?

California has a budget of about $200 billion, Wyoming has a budget of about $5 billion....

Plus, he's not saying a house has to be bought for each of them.... it can be like a bed and breakfast setting, many can stay in one home if need be....

I’d rather all the representatives are living in once place to force them to interact as human beings

Like, in a commune?

My opinion of your intelligence has not changed.

 

[Synthaholic]

Gohmert is an idiot now? Who is Yoho? Was either worried about Guam capsizing?

Now?

You think Louis Gohmert is smart?
You don’t know who Ted Yoho is?

My opinion about your intelligence is now set in stone.

Why are they red states?

Because they are badly run and have little opportunity. This is why they have a brain drain. All the smart people leave for states where they can be successful, leaving behind the below average people, some of them winning elections and furthering the decline.

Why should that be rewarded with Senatorial power? Why should we have 2 Dakotas?

Your inability to understand the purpose of the senate says quite a bit

Why not elect a real American. Look at the people who voted for the republicans. Lots of whiny beggars who need to be cuddled.

The powers that be made the decision decades ago.


Men obviously smarter than you.

 

[jasonnfree]

Well, at least we know she's not a wealthy person that has no idea of what it's like to struggle some. I see jealousy here. A minority, a female, not born with a silver spoon in her mouth, winning an major election against all the odds. Should be an inspiration for some people.

Seems Planned Parenthood, Naral, and Population Connection all gave him a zero rating on Votesmart.

(Obviously very little liberal about him)

She should. If her election doesn't alarm informed Americans then something is wrong with them.

Yes, we should all be like you - a working shlub who supports healthcare executives making $78 million per year by over-charging working shlubs.

Grow a brain, idiot.

I created my job as well as all the jobs for those who have worked for me over the past few decades. I created my own destiny via my own efforts. My success and money was not given to me via voters with bad judgment. I am part of the engine that drives our economy while she and others like her are the one draining it. Idiots in DC bring nothing to our economic engine.

who pays the blue collar worker for their services? I'd bet dry cleaners in DC are making money due to them! Restaurant workers are are making a decent living because of them, and bars and bar workers too!!! People do have jobs, due to them imho....

They take far more than they put in. We have to pay for EVERYTHING the do and use in DC, not just their salaries, pensions & healthcare. They are a net drain on society. I don't see ANY reason we need a full time government. Congress could easily do the things that need to be done in a four or six month session and be on call for emergencies via the internet.

Very little intelligent about him. Look up clips of him and Gohmert talking about issues. Or anything, for that matter.
