How would AOC pay for her massive spending programs?

She believes in the Modern Monetary Theory. Its beliefs include:

• Government can pay for things without taxation through money creation
• Government can't default on its debts
• Money creation is limited only by inflation
• Government controls demand-pull inflation by taxation and bonds
• Government needs not compete with the private sector

What is wrong with this plan to finance spending?

It does not take into account that money gains its value when it is used to pay for work done to make useful products for sale on the open market.

• Money government creates to spend for government purposes has no such value.
• When government creates money to spend, it devalues the rest of the country's currency.
• Taxation of work-produced income is necessary for government-spent money to have value.
• Government spending is limited to a fractional percentage of the Gross National Income because nothing can create wealth except work.
• Without work, money has no value.
• The spending programs she wants are unsustainable.

Government has no power to create any wealth. Only work can create wealth.

What would happen if the government tried to execute this massive spending program?

Government would never be able to raise enough wealth to pay for even a small portion of her plan:

• Money creation would instantly inflate the country's currency.
• When the currency inflates, it makes it impossible for government to pay for everything in the spending plan.
• Inflation reduces the buying power of all of the country's currency.
• The people would not be able to buy anything with inflated currency.

What else does AOC want to do that is wrong?

Many of her goals are unconstitutional or unsustainable:

• Ending Capitalism violates some religious beliefs.
• Socialism is not sustainable because it does not value work.
• Medicare for All is unsustainable (see above).
• Single-payer Healthcare is unsustainable (see above).
• Forcing religions to accept GLBT and abortion violates the First Amendment.
• Full rights for all GLBT does not allow taking away any rights of others.
• Draconian gun controls violate the Second Amendment
• Abolishing ICE is unconstitutional.
• Open Borders are unconstitutional.
• A federal Job Guarantee is unsustainable and impossible to do in practice.
• Canceling all student debts is unsustainable.
• Free public college tuition is unsustainable.
• Free child care is unsustainable.
• Impeaching Trump is just the rabid hate of liberals who did not get their way.
• Impeach Trump will not work because he committed no crimes.
• Impeach Trump will not work because the Senate would never vote 2/3 to convict.
• Violating the Political Correctness religion is not a crime.
• Green New Deal is unsustainable.
• Phasing out fossil fuels can't be done because there is no complete replacement for them.
• Without fossil fuels, there would be no power in some places at night.
• Upgrading or replacing all buildings is grossly unsustainable
• Banning air travel removes rights from people.
• Banning meat unconstitutionally forces a religious belief on people.
• Reducing number of private vehicles removes rights and forces a religious belief on people.

She wants to force her selfish beliefs on everyone else.
