AOC’s ‘frightening' economic ideas taking over Democrat Party: Steve Moore
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Biden's $2.2T infrastructure plan does not spend enough
FreedomWorks economist Steve Moore discusses Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., suggesting the Biden administration should spend $10 trillion on infrastructure.
FreedomWorks economist Steve Moore joined FOX Business’ “Mornings with Maria” and discussed Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., suggesting the Biden administration should spend $10 trillion on infrastructure over the next 10 years.
WHAT'S IN BIDEN'S $2.25T INFRASTRUCTURE AND TAX PROPOSAL?
STEVE MOORE: The really interesting thing is that when AOC first came on the scene a couple of years ago, you know, we used to kind of laugh at the crazy things that she was saying...

When she says 5, 8, 10 trillion dollars, I think we ought to start taking these people seriously. I mean, look, we started the year with $1 trillion in the pipeline. Remember, that was leftover from the Trump COVID bill. And then we passed a $2 trillion bill and then Biden announced $2 trillion this week. And then, by the way, The Washington Post reported they're going to come up with a second $2 trillion bill for so-called ‘social infrastructure.’ So if my math is right, that's 4 trillion, 6 trillion -- that's $7 trillion already. So they're not so far from that $10 trillion that AOC is talking about.
