He's too stupid to be ashamed of his ignorance, but the rest of us should be embarrassed that he’s part of our government
/‘Squad’ lawmaker “Fireman Jamaal” Bowman explains ‘creative’ way to pay $14 trillion in slavery reparations
Bowman cited the federal government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the “space race” endeavor as examples that would make the measure feasible.
“When COVID was destroying us, we invested in the American people in a way that kept the economy afloat,” said Bowman. “The government can invest [sic] the same way in reparations without raising taxes on anyone.”
“Where did the money come from?” Bowman said. “We spent it into existence.”
Mr. Bowman is a former member of the Socialist Party, a former school principal, and a staunch opponent of standardized testing for students. Neither is surprising.
