TODD: In this clip, there\u2019s a lot here, ‘kay? Rush uses a really quick, subtle, devastating quip to spotlight the echoing of nothing, the sounds in AOC\u2019s name on even elementary economics that the rest of us learned on Saturday morning cartoons. But then listen closely. Rush reveals that AOC accidentally endorses the Trump tax cuts.<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: My friends, I love this in a way because I\u2019ve been theorizing lately about how telling people that we can\u2019t afford it, not a reason to do something, doesn\u2019t work anymore with these people because it doesn\u2019t matter. We don\u2019t have the money to do anything. We\u2019ve got deficits, $21 trillion national debt.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not stopping anybody from spending more, proposing to spend any more. Now they\u2019re coming out and just being honest. It doesn\u2019t matter whether we have the money or not. And if we don\u2019t, just print it. Now, out there in the Millennial population, we literally have a bunch of young people who believe that the earth is not gonna be habitable when they hit 65. I\u2019ve tried to tell you they really believe this.<\/p>\n

A Politico story: “The Democratic Party\u2019s base is rallying around calls for massive social welfare programs like Medicare for All, a federal jobs guarantee and a Green New Deal — all of which would cost trillions of dollars and potentially bust the budget. “Yet a small but growing chorus of progressives say that policy makers are thinking about deficits all wrong: The red ink, they say, is not that big of a deal.<\/p>\n

“Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, (D-N.Y.), told Business Insider last month the notion that the government needn\u2019t worry about balancing its books should be ‘a larger part of our conversation.'” If we run out of money, we just print some, she says. We haven\u2019t had any money for a long time, and we\u2019re not gonna let that stop us. We\u2019re not gonna let people use the fact that we don\u2019t have the money stop us.<\/p>\n
