I felt exactly the same way. She is the type of research only the things she's passionate about, from only the angles she deems matter. She thinks the money part just takes care of itself and clearly hasn't put in any effort into researching what economics is all about, which is odd for someone who wants socialism. You think if you hated capitalism that you'd learn the ins and outs first.

She doesn't understand how economics works. That money has to be created, then put into the system in a way that means they go into debt to do it. They have to pay interest on that money, plus it leads to inflation. They don't just print money and give it away with no consequences. That's not how it works. She doesn't understand the absolute basics yet she sure has a solid opinion and decent sized platform to state that opinion.

Yeah her idea literally is "Just make some money up and have them made, problem solved". FFS if it was that easy that's how everything would work. Does she think that nobody has ever had that idea before? Yeesh.

And she thinks that a neurosurgeon should live in the same place as a burger flipper and pay the same percentage. A dozen+ years of intense schooling means you should pay way more money for the same place. You're literally being punished for working hard. That's a very different thing than the wealthy paying a higher percentage of tax because they are paying more and also getting more. In the housing case they pay more (because they worked harder) but get nothing more at all.
