Yep. And many, many new members of Congress don't get their own apartment. They share an apartment with other members of Congress.
But perhaps that would be too much equality for Ms. Commie Ocasio-Cortez?


Ocasio-Cortez Can't Afford An Apartment In D.C. Before Her Government Paycheck Kicks In

"Those little things are very real"

The young socialist Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who was ushered into Congress this past Tuesday in a landslide victory, literally cannot afford an apartment in Washington, D.C. before her hefty government salary of $174,000 kicks in.

Speaking with The New York Times, "the future of the Democrat Party" who almost never gives a straight answer when asked about how to fund her lavish programs, said she cannot afford a place to live prior to a job that she applied for, noting that her transition from the NY-14 to D.C. "will be very unusual, because I can’t really take a salary." It's as if she finally realizes that a reality indeed exists.

"I have three months without a salary before I’m a member of Congress. So, how do I get an apartment? Those little things are very real," Ocasio-Cortez told the newspaper.

Prior to her congressional run, during which she beat out her primary opponent, establishment Democrat Joe Crowley, by 15 points, Ocasio-Cortez worked as a bartender at a New York City restaurant. She saved up some money between then and now, but not enough to get her through to the next congressional session. On average, a one-room bedroom apartment in Washington, D.C., goes for about $2,170 a month, a report by Zumper states.

"We’re kind of just dealing with the logistics of it day by day, but I’ve really been just kind of squirreling away and then hoping that gets me to January," she said.

Ocasio-Cortez will be just fine with the apartment situation once some Silicon Valley tech billionaire reads of her woes and feels so compelled to signal his charitable virtue that he purchases her a fully-furnished luxury condo in the swankiest spot D.C. has to offer. In fact, following the story's release, the socialist tweeted that she was "working it out" after using her situation as a talking point to push her message of inequality.

"There are many little ways in which our electoral system isn’t ever designed [nor prepared] for working-class people to lead," she tweeted. "This is one of them [don’t worry by the way – we’re working it out!]”

The Democrat has become famous for her struggles with economics. As noted by The Daily Wire's Ryan Saavedra, Ocasio-Cortez is no longer even trying to hide her ignorance with basic math anymore. Now, instead of coming up with some long-winded answer about robbing Peter to pay Paul, she just says, "Ah, we'll deal with it later."

Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez still can't answer how America can afford to pay for an estimated $40 trillion in big government programs, which includes a socialist healthcare system for all. She also now claims that opponents who ask her questions that she can't answer "haven’t earned the right to ask" her those questions.

Speaking with Jorge Ramos recently, when asked if "Medicare for All" was "too expensive," Ocasio-Cortez simply replied, "You just pay for it."

Good luck telling your landlord "you just pay for it" when you come up short for the security deposit. "Those little things are very real" indeed.

And they say this isn't a great country. Where else in the world could a twenty something mentally ill moron make $174k a year.

She was a bartender getting cash tips. Wait until she had to pay taxes on $174K. Single no deductions. What’s that? 32%?

and she wants free tuition to the electoral college

Forgive me, but if she pays all 32%, she'd still walk away with $118k/year. You know how many people have worked a lifetime in one trade or another and never managed to earn that amount per year? This woman is utterly worthless. She has nothing to offer anyone (maybe she's good in the sack? That would at least be 'something'.). The fact she's going to earn north of $100k a year disgusts me, as it should any rational person.

ONe thing that the midterm elections highlight is how many tiny congressional districts there are that are hotbeds of complete lunacy. Yet they can still elect a moron and that moron becomes a "US Congressman".

Minus medical, social security, Medicare, retirement contribution, and the cost of living inside the beltway.

You really want to argue this with me? This woman hasn't the skill set to warrant a minimum wage paycheck at Micky D's (hence the reason her last job was as a waitress). She's a complete embarrassment in everyone's eyes except her own, and a handful of mentally ill morons in the Bronx.

That's right.
The midterm elections highlight that we are becoming ever more divided. The commies, like Commie Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez-Macarena-Hey-Macarena, can't stand us, and we can't stand them either.

Plenty of Reps and Senators room together in group houses on Cap. Hill. She'll probably find of those, and someone will front her security deposit and rent for a while. Kind of surprised she can't use leftover campaign funds for it, since it's kind of related to the job she won. I don't feel sorry for her, but I'm sure there's a way around this. And she'll probably find a sugar daddy once she's living in DC. Lot of money flows around that town and even the little people make pretty decent money there.

Who the fuck is arguing with you? Relax yourself. It’s Friday. Go have a drink.

Woman? She's more like a spoiled, entitled child.

She doesn't even have the job sills to work at Micky D's, she probably has the skill set closer to pump gas.

Window Licker like her, the only hope to make a decent wage is being a politician or making porn. Each position being equal.

So, where's she been living for the past few months? While DC is expensive for housing New York is worse.

Shows my utter lack of understanding, but don't they have to live in their district in order to run in the first place? So as others have asked, where has she been living? And doesn't she still have to keep a residence in her district? She can't just move to DC right? Because then she wouldn't be a resident of her district?

She can move and still maintain a residence in NY. The founders never anticipated career politicians, you were supposed to attend congress in session and then return home afterwards. She doesn't have to move, plenty of reps live in their offices.

As to where she lives now, well, rent control I would guess...

She had the skill set to beat a ten term incumbent senior member of the House of Representitives. Or she was just the right person in the right place at the right time and got lucky. Usually these guys don't even get challenged in the primary. Either way, the voters in what's now her district essentially hired her, and are paying her.

If you want to make that money, in 2020, launch a challenge to your congresscritter.

^^^^^ She's where she is because the voters in her district are even more ignorant than she is. She has learned to parrot the right phrases when she talks, but has no real idea what any of them actually mean or would entail. She is a real empty dress. Physicists seeking a perfect vacuum should check between her ears....

Her handlers had the skill. She is a vacuous useless eater.
