Ocasio-Cortez Breaks With Pelosi in Key Early Vote for Democrats

101. About 3 -5 years out

My usual rule is, barring other considerations, I want a surgeon that's about 3 - 5 years out of surgical residency. It means they have the most recent training, and the experience to expertly apply it.

I'm not as hard over on Paygo as AOC, but it is mostly nostalgia on the part of the democrats. It was used effectively during the Clinton administration during a rising economy and when they were able to raise some taxes and fees. They also had something of a cooperative GOP on the concept back then. It is a different world now and I don't really feel that until we "correct" the huge tax cuts passed in the last 2 years, that Paygo is the right move, right now.

That said, the reality is that I don't think we're going to see alot of legislation getting past the senate, much less signed by the White House in the next two years so the point may basically be theoretical more than anything else.
