The young socialist Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who was ushered into Congress this past Tuesday in a landslide victory, literally cannot afford an apartment in Washington, D.C. before her hefty government salary of $174,000 kicks in.
Speaking with The New York Times, “the future of the Democrat Party,” who almost never gives a straight answer when asked about how to fund her lavish programs, said she cannot afford a place to live prior to a job that she applied for, noting that her transition from the NY-14 to D.C. “will be very unusual, because I can’t really take a salary.” It’s as if she finally realizes that a reality indeed exists.
