“Fox News and the right wing will have you believe that these American values are something out of the Communist Manifesto. That we believe these things because we went to college and read them in a book somewhere. I don’t believe in health care, labor, and human dignity because I’m a Marxist. I believe it because I was a waitress,” Ocasio-Cortez stated in Las Vegas.
“Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security were promises that we as a people have made to each other about the kind of country we are and the kind of society we want to live in. And I don’t know about you, Arizona, but I want to live in an America that guarantees health care to every person,” she stated in Tempe, Arizona.
The GOP’s proposed price range cuts instruct the Home Power and Commerce Committee to seek out $880 billion to chop from the federal authorities with a view to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy. A good portion of that cash would come from Medicaid, threatening a purported 600,000 Arizonans.
Sanders stored the deal with rising wealth inequality and the paradoxes of GOP politicians pleading poverty with regards to social security internet packages.
“We are not a poor country! There is no excuse in God’s earth that people have to make a choice between food and the medicine they need to stay alive,” he stated in Arizona.
“One thing I love about Arizonans is that you all have shown that if a U.S. Senator isn’t fighting hard enough for you, you’re not afraid to replace her.” Ocasio-Cortez stated, taking a jab at former Democratic Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona.
Ocasio-Cortez, Sanders, and Walz aren’t afraid to face Republican constituents who’ve been uncared for by their very own get together.
