Description: In debate in Congress over the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez schools three Republican Congressmen for prioritizing the profits of the military-industrial complex over the basic needs of everyday Americans. Amidst the nation's healthcare, economic, and house problems, AOC rightly argues that we should be spending more to strengthen our social fabric. Ocasio-Cortez, a Democrat, proposed an amendment to modestly decrease America's defense budget and was met by opposition from House Republicans. Alexandria-Ocasio Cortez, a longtime Bernie Sanders supporter who supported Joe Biden in his victory over Donald Trump, correctly contends that the declining social safety net of the USA makes us less safe. Marjorie Taylor Greene sat and watched her Republican lackeys argue with AOC.
