Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez slams top Biden advisor's claim that the growing deficit would limit government spending under a potential Biden administration

Two crossed lines that form an 'X'. It indicates a way to close an interaction, or dismiss a notification.Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has urged New York Gov. Andrew Coumo to consider implementing a wealth tax in his state.

Ocasio-Cortez, who supports deficit spending and taxing the wealthy to fund programs like Medicare for All and the Green New Deal, called Kaufman's remarks "extremely concerning." "When we get in, the pantry is going to be bare," Kaufman said. "When you see what Trump's done to the deficit …forget about Covid-19, all the deficits that he built with the incredible tax cuts. So we're going to be limited."

Dean Baker, a senior economist at the left-leaning Center for Economic and Policy Research, said Kaufman was "wrong big time."
