One less hour would make up for the deficit, says Occasio-Cortez.<\/h2>\n
\"Democrats<\/a>
Those dirty bums!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n

Washington (AP) – On Friday, House Democrats made a surprise vote. It was such a surprise, Republicans didn’t even know to show up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vote was a proposal by rising-star Alexandria Occasio-Cortez. Remove an hour from everyone’s lives to help offset the deficit. “You’ve heard the saying ‘Time is Money,’ right?,” Occasio-Cortez announced, “Well what if we cut one hour out and used that money to offset our staggering deficit? It would relieve some of the debt our constituents are burdened with. Plus, they’ll be sleeping, they’ll never miss it!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As expected, the decision was unanimous without any Republicans present to “screw it all up, just because”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An outraged President Trump tweeted that the Democrats have “gone too far,” and promised to restore that hour back to Americans in September, just before the next election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked if there are any special movies this weekend AOC planned on seeing, the young congressperson responded: “The last movie I went to see was called ‘Closed For Rennovations’. It was very noisy and I couldn’t follow the plot with all these construction workers moving around and talking. It was stupid”.
