AOC: On Bernie bandwagon

Recently AOC (Democrat rock star) at a huge Queens, N.Y., rally, endorsed Bernie Sanders (left wing socialist) for president. They go hand in glove — using the word “transform” repeatedly, referring to their changing of the America we know and love. In Bernie’s very first minute, he proudly announced canceling all student debt as his first priority. The crowd was delirious with joy. Let’s look at the logistics of this.

First, never mind the millions of students who’ve worked nights, weekends, holidays, summers — plus their parents who’ve taken on second mortgages/jobs, driving older vehicles (just driving on by Starbucks!), no family vacations, so student debt wouldn’t be a burden. Was this all in vain!?

Secondly, going forward it’ll be free college for all. Everyone gets to feel “that college experience” without paying a dime — the sky is the limit-it’s ALL free — such joy in Bernie Land — What a guy!

Bernie says it’s an American right — the crowd goes wild! Now folks-remember this is the first minute — there’s still 59 minutes of free “entitled stuff” ahead — free health care, child care and so much more. Strangely enough, my Dad always told me that I was entitled to nothing I didn’t work for. Actually, back in the day, that’s the way it was for most everyone. And guess what? We turned out just fine.

Thirdly, will Bernie wave a magic wand and these trillions of dollars just appear!? — oh yes, the crowd is going crazy with joy — Santa Claus really is alive and well (and on steroids!).
