Rep. Cortez

It was reported that Trump received $2 billion dollars in free advertising during the campaign. He accomplished this by making controversial statements which often times flew in the face of conventional wisdom and political correctness and while the Washington experts laughed at his naivety many voters saw a breath of fresh air in his contempt for the establishment. Newly elected Representative Cortez is following in Trumps footsteps by making unusual statements that the press jumps on with both feet. She has made such a big splash in the media that others are joining forces with her and many are playing the game of one-upmanship. 70% tax rate soon went to 90% and then added a wealth tax. Getting rid of fossil fuels went from 20 years to 12 years. Free tuition expanded to canceling student debt. $500 per month to poor people became a guaranteed job for everyone. Reducing defense spending grew into cutting defense by half. With almost 2 year left before the election it is hard to imagine what the issues will be at that time. Since no party is concerned about the deficit the sky is the limit.
