    Well, read between the lines.

    It's not a complaint.

    The Socialist/Communist is demanding someone provide her a place to live.

    Personal responsibility is a concept repulsive to such types.

    This young lady is in for a rude surprise when life in DC is staring her in the face. Talk about in over her head.

    Perhaps she is a person living on modest means. Rent in D.C. is astronomical.

    I tell you what.

    If she promises to give her salary back to the state I will support her free housing initiative.

    The idiot never thinks ahead, her math never evolved past the 3rd grade, and mommy and daddy must have paid another college student to take her economic classes since she knows nothing about the subject although claiming she majored in it.

    She can stay at my place - after I get back from the hospital giving RBG some of my ribs, that is.

    Yes, how is she going to plan to have us pay for the MASSIVE social programs that she wants us to pay for when she can't even plan for her own new APARTMENT!
    Democratic Socialists are great at spending your money, but not great at planning jack!

    That's because your #1 goal in life is NOT to spend other people's money for them.

    Oh I want more socialism. But I prefer a mixed economy. I don’t want the govt running every business.

    She did plan

    She told the paper she saved up before she left her job as a bartender at a New York City restaurant.

    “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.

    She's going to use this "the rent is too high in Washington!" ruse to raise our taxes to get more government-funded housing bills passed - mark my words. Whatever Fidel would do - THAT'S what she'll do. We can read her like a book.

    If the rents are too high then maybe she'll vote for relaxing the ridiculously strict zoning/construction laws in the Washington area, so that the supply of housing can increase, thereby lowering the costs.
    Unfortunately, I don't think leftists understand economics - or else Cuba would be the shining beacon on the hill (economically) that is the envy of all nations.

    She's NOT a Democrat, apparently - or she'd have collected so much graft by now that she wouldn't be in this poor position. I bet HILLARY never had problems affording stuff!

    No, no, no - with leftists it's always about YOUR money going to their pet social causes, never their own money.
