1. New Democratic Darlings: Ilhan Omar Edition!
Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar calls for sharp tax increases.

2. While others focus on her proposed tax heist (which by the way she says should be levied on top 1% earners; to be in the top 1%, you have to earn around $700K per year), I want to point your attention to her understanding of the federal budget by pointing at this beauty.
3. U.S. annual defense budget is around $600 billion. 50% of that is of course $300 billion. So Rep. Omar thinks $300 billion is much more than all the money we spend on education and healthcare.
4. You know how much we spend annually on education? More than a $1 trillion. Healthcare: more than $3.5 trillion. So Rep. Omar's new math tells her $300 billion is much more than $4.5 trillion.
5. Pay close attention, y'all. These are the Democratic 'leaders' at the forefront of shaping national policy. You're looking at the future of the Democratic party, they tell us. Relax the age limit already. Presidential ticket of @AOC and Omar is already lit.

The End.
