The US federal budget is $7 trillion.There are 535 in the Senate and Congress.They collectively allocate that money.Specifically: 7000/535 = 13 billion per official.Which means AOC is a political billionaire.She allocates far more than any market billionaire.Indeed she allocates ten billion liquid, per year.A market billionaire has one billion, illiquid, per life.So: AOC spends 10-100X what a market billionaire has.It's not even close.She's right about one thing, though.AOC didn't earn the tens of billions ...
