Ocasio-Cortez Humiliates Herself Again With Massive Mistake On Pentagon Spending

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez really should take a class before she heads to Congress.

In fact she should take several.

Your humble correspondent has to correct her on a near daily basis.

And it happened again on Sunday when she, again, attempted to sound smart and, again, embarrassed herself.

She either has no idea what she is talking about, likely, or she is intentionally misleading people to push her Medicare For All fantasy.

“$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,” she wrote.

It is an accounting thing. The cash is not lost. It was spent on important things for our military you halfwit.

I had to step in and take her to school.

It gets annoying having to teach you daily. Ok lets start.

It is not lost. It is not adequately documented or supported.

It is called unsupported adjustments.

It did not disappear.

You want to be on the finance committee?

Take a class.

But I was not the only one.

Wow. You claim $21 Trillion in Pentagon Waste? The entire Pentagon budget from 1789-2018 has totaled $18 trillion,

Come on, This is embarrassing. https://t.co/ezdhqWQFyc

This is annoying because AOC is making a bad/self defeating argument for something I support. 1, "can't be audited because DOD is bad at accounting" is not the same as "wasted." Makes her look like she doesn't know what she's talking about. https://t.co/DVzrUB8bSr

He supports her and he is roasting her.

It appears she got her argument from this story in The Nation, but she did not comprehend what it said.
