Controversial Congresswoman Ilhan Omar -once again- urged the federal government to use “tax cuts” to finance universal healthcare, tuition-free college, and a “living wage” for the country’s educators.
“We can afford to give trillions of tax cuts to corporations but we can’t afford: Medicare For All, Green New Deal, Cancel Student Debt, Pay teachers a living wage We don’t suffer from scarcity we suffer from greed,” posted Omar on social media.

Fellow Squad-member Rep. Ocasio-Cortez made similar comments last year; suggesting New York City use the tax-cuts offered to Amazon to replace subway lines and increase teachers’ salaries.
“Cost of the GOP Tax Scam for the rich: ~$1.8-2.3 Trillion. Cost of forgiving all student loans in America: ~$1.5 Trillion. Clearly where there’s a will, there’s a way. When people say that there isn’t ‘enough’ to do these things, what they mean is they don’t *want* to do them,” posted Cortez on social media.

ECONOMICS 101: Cortez Confuses Tax Cuts AGAIN, Wants to ‘Forgive’ Student Debt with Non-Existent Money
Embattled Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez doubled-down on her calls for total student loan forgiveness Wednesday evening; bizarrely suggesting tax cuts could be used to finance her massive proposal.

Cortez made similar comments weeks ago when she suggested New York could use Amazon’s proposed tax breaks to fix the region’s crumbling infrastructure and hire more teachers.
TRUMP UNLEASHED: The President Labels AOC’s ‘Squad’ a ‘NIGHTMARE FOR AMERICA’
President Trump escalated his war-of-words with the progressive ‘Squad’ Tuesday; calling the four far-left legislators a “nightmare for America.”
“In 2016 I almost won Minnesota. In 2020, because of America hating anti-Semite Rep. Omar, & the fact that Minnesota is having its best economic year ever, I will win the State! ‘We are going to be a nightmare to the President,’ she say. No, AOC Plus 3 are a Nightmare for America!” posted Trump on Twitter.

Failing Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Amy Klobuchar fired-back minutes later, saying President Trump will “never win” Minnesota in 2020.
“You’ll never win Minnesota, Donald Trump. I’ll make sure of it. Our state economy is strong because of our great workers and businesses. And the last time I checked, racist words and putting a congresswoman and her family in harm’s way aren’t very popular in our state,” posted Klobuchar.

President Trump called-out ‘The Squad’ on social media Monday; blasting the four freshman Congresswomen as “racist troublemakers” and “not very smart.”
“The ‘Squad’ is a very Racist group of troublemakers who are young, inexperienced, and not very smart. They are pulling the once great Democrat Party far left, and were against humanitarian aid at the Border…And are now against ICE and Homeland Security. So bad for our Country!” posted the President on Twitter.

‘The Squad’ consists of Representatives Ocasio-Cortez, Omar, Tlaib, and Pressley.
Rashida Tlaib sounded the alarm on President Trump’s tax cuts Monday; pledging to repeal the legislation and give the money “back to the people that earned it.”
“Recently, I introduced the Boost Act. This legislation completely repeals the GOP Tax Scam… Do you know what I did with that money? What I said? We’re going to go ahead and put it in the pockets of every day Americans… We give it back to the people that earned it,” said Tlaib.
