Bill Nye questions AOC

Ok, so it's a softball question that sets her up for explaining how investment in people has surplus returns. She debunks that zero sum argument that paying for something requires that others suffer. The reality is that investing in the Green New Deal not only pays for itself in financial returns, but in social and environmental returns that far exceed the cost.

She also makes the critical point that we the people need to get involved, to speak up, to demand our representatives actually represent us and not the fossil fuel companies and the bankers that speculate with our wealth. When things go wrong we the people are blamed, using our social programs caused the problem when in fact it's the 1% who created this mess. So when we elect representatives that work for us instead of working for the 1%, and continue to participate in the system between elections, things actually change for us.
