Ocasio Cortez Admits How Wildly Expensive Her ‘Green New Deal’ Would Be

Whenever anyone asks the Socialist Sweetheart how she intends to pay for her monstrous ‘Green New Deal,’ her answer is something akin to “Well, um… you just PAY for it.”

Riiight.

Anyway, it seems that someone might have sat Alex down to explain what the “trillion” number means, (1,000,000,000,000. Look at all those zeroes!) because she seems to finally understand that rebuilding the country might actually be sort of expensive.

According to the Blaze:

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) admitted how much it would cost to get started on her audacious “Green New Deal” to combat global warming, and the number is startlingly high.

“I think we really need to get to $10 trillion to have a shot,” Ocasio-Cortez said in response to the question from The Hill on Wednesday.

The socialist democrat has touted her plan despite the Democratic leadership ignoring it and even openly mocking it. Democrats have drawn up their own plan to tackle global warming.

“I know it’s a ton,” she added in her statement. “I don’t think anyone wants to spend that amount of money, it’s not a fun number to say, I’m not excited to say we need to spend $10 trillion on climate, but… it’s just the fact of the scenario.”

No word yet on what tree she expects that $10 trillion to grow on, but I guess that’s just like… “the fact of the scenario.”
