I wouldn't say that. The point of the meme was to poke fun at the fact that for all these changes she hasn't said how we or the government is going to pay for it.Spiritual_Chaos said:

Okey, but that was not in the Cuomo interview right?mace1229 said:She did say it.

Ironically I only find conservative sources reporting it, but I made sure to find one with audio.
She did say we are paying more now, so free healthcare would be cheaper so that is how we "just pay for it." Said the same thing for free college and trade schools too, said we're paying for it now so we are already paying for it, government paid education would be cheaper.
But never said how government is going to pay for either. Either she doesn't realize that there is a difference between the individual paying for it and the government, or didn't want to say the words "raise taxes." But she did say "you just pay for it."
Who cares if the picture of the person asking the question was wrong. It could be Big Bird asking her in the meme and still get the same point across.
I think the purpose of the meme is to make fun of her views and portray her like a sterotypical millennial by saying "just pay for it." I can't imagine the picture of the interviewer was given any thought, and wasn't meant to mislead who she was speaking to because none of that matters in this context.0 -

OK so in my neck of the woods Amazon is coming...
I'm not real excited about this. It means that the area LIC, and everything else in the close vicinity is going to skyrocket in price...
My plans for buying a house in Rockaway are all but shattered now...
Ms Ocasio did weigh in on it.
