Elizabeth Warren has forgotten, if she ever knew, Margaret Thatcher's immortal dictum: "The problem with socialism is that sooner or later, you run out of other people's money." In what ought to be a career-ending slip, facing a friendly questioner, Lily Eskelsen García, president of the National Education Association, her belief in a fantasy world where money can be endlessly spent came out. Watch her brush off concern over funding an expensive education program with the words, "The way I see it, there's always, c'mon, there's always money. It's there."
Juan and Evita Perón thought the same thing, and they ruined the economy of Argentina,

"Vacuous" is a word that describes her mental economic understanding.

Yup. Just ask Maduro. There's always money... until there isn't.

Just give everyone a government issued printer to print their own money.

Tax money is not real money, it is OPM (Other People's Money). It is like Monopoly money. If you run out just get some more.

The United State does not need this crazy woman as President.
We don't need her in Congress either, but as long as the dorks in Massachusetts keep voting for her there isn't much we can do about it.

If we don't spend money on defense we won't have to spend money on our children. We can just let China or Russia handle it for us. Idiot.

She reminds me of that old joke. A woman explaining to her banker that how could she be out of money, she still has checks in her bankbook.

This is a common attitude shared by liberals, that the "rich" always have more money stashed away and it is always available to be raided for liberal causes. They seem unaware that ALL monies originate through commerce and the amount of it is dependant on business activity. Fortunately, it IS possible to expand the supply of money by getting business to grow. That requires creativity, hard work, and risk. Most businesses fail. The ones that succeed have varying degrees of success and profitability. Some of that profit is available to government for justified causes. But raiding business (and individuals) for taxes can cause the collapse of the business (and the individual). Besides, businesses (and individuals) are already using their money on various good causes; ones that are not to the benefit of or in the control of liberals.
Liberals, even the rich ones, do NOT understand business. BO demonstrated it when he said "you didn't build that.". Most of them are at least smart enough not to same something as clueless as Warren did. The problem is, Warren thinks she is smarter than everyone else (another common liberal attitude) and her mouth gets ahead of her limited thinking.

And let's not forget about the billion or so in hard cash sitting in some warehouse on pallets somewhere in Iran. Your rock star idol Obama shipped it over there on US One, no doubt on a day Mooch and her mom weren't using it. Our sworn enemy is just just begging us to come take it back.

When she says "There's plenty of money" she's actually right. It is currently sitting in YOUR 401k or IRA and various other bank accounts. She means to take your money ... not print more of it! Wise up.
Actually I pray (and not like Nancy Phew-lousy does) that Warren is the Dem's POTUS nominee ---- with Booker as her Vice Pres.
Nothing will destroy the Demo-rat party faster than having this fake Indian (sorry --- Native American indigenous person) nut job at the head of the ticket and nothing will get the Indy to vote straight Republican than the fear of losing their bank accounts or retirement savings.

That is truly childish thinking. Myself listening to an adult say that would make me think that's an ignorant clueless person who shouldn't be in charge of a petty cash box. That school marm dressing, Orangutan arm, karate air chopping, beer drinking in the kitchen, fake Indian is a danger to the Republic and society.

Liz is the typical angry Leftist woman and the weakest link of the Democrat circus clowns. What an awful example of what Harvard turns out. Tulsi is far more articulate and impressive than her.

Obviously she has never had to worry about getting milk for her kids. No, there isn't always money.

Liz is supposed to be a Harvard law school professor in her other life. Therefore it is reasonable to assume that she at least has a nodding acquaintance with that pesky document known as the US Constitution. If so she would know that the government is charged with providing for the common defense, i.e. maintaining a navy and raising an army in times of emergency. She should also know that there is not one damned word in the fundamental law of the land charging the government with creating education programs. Per Amendment Number Ten that duty rests with the states and the various subdivisions therein.
