This is a good thing. Otherwise we would be driving someday from California to Hawaii because of the $93 trillion Green New Deal.
Don't think you could get more absurd than the Green New Deal but we're talking about AOC. So to take it a step further the demented moron now wants to give illegals reparations. New York's 14th congressional District should be declared an insane asylum ward.
BTW... I just discovered this maybe some of you have already seen it. I presumed she was at least in eye shot of the children. It appears AOC missed her calling she should've been an actress. The whole thing was staged.
The photos seem to back it up.

Despite being some of the most well-known members of Congress, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Speaker Nancy Pelosi rank near the bottom of the table in a measure of legislative effectiveness.
In a study of legislative effectiveness, Ocasio-Cortez was ranked No. 230 out of the 240 Democrats who served in the 116th Congress. Pelosi was ranked 237th in the measure. Rep. Jim Cooper, a Tennessee Democrat, was the least effective legislator in his party.
The New York Democrat introduced 21 “substantive” bills in her first two years in office. None of the legislation received committee action, floor votes, or became law, according to researchers from the Center for Effective Lawmaking.
“It’s clear that she was trying to get her legislative agenda moving and engage with the lawmaking process. But she wasn’t as successful as some other members were — even among [other] freshmen — at getting people to pay attention to her legislation.” Alan Wiseman, a political science professor and the co-director of the CEL, told the New York Post.
The CEL, a joint project between the University of Virginia and Vanderbilt University, ranked Rep. Ilhan Omar 214 out of 240 Democrats. The Minnesota representative sponsored 33 “substantive” bills, none of which made it into law. Rep. Rashida Tlaib did substantially better than her fellow “Squad” members and was ranked 92nd. Three bills she sponsored made it to a committee, and one became law.
Craig Volden, a co-director of the CEL, told USA Today that the “workhorses” of Congress were “less likely to be called upon by the media,” and among the “ show horses,” who tend to have more of a national spotlight, “there tends to be more of an interest in talking about ... politicking and personalities.”
Rep. Michael McCaul and Sen. Marco Rubio were the most effective Republicans in their respective chambers, while Rep. Nita Lowey and Sen. Gary Peters topped the charts for Democrats.
