'A living wage isn't a gift, it's a right': Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez fires back at Ivanka Trump after the senior White House adviser said she doesn't think most people believe in the freshman lawmaker's proposal for guaranteed jobs for all Americans
In an interview released by Fox News on Monday, Trump was asked about Ocasio-Cortez's Green New Deal proposal and what she would say to people who are enticed by the proposal's job guarantee. In response, Trump said,"I don't think most Americans in their heart want to be given something." "I've spent a lot of time traveling around this country over the last four years," Trump continued.
Ed Markey, of Massachusetts, and other congressional Democrats -- unveiled the Green New Deal proposal earlier this month. The plan, cosponsored by several Democrats running for president in 2020, is designed to overhaul the country's climate change policies and also contains several major economic proposals. Among them is a portion about"guaranteeing a job with a family-sustaining wage."Raising the minimum wage has been hotly debated around the country for years.
