Former President Barack Obama reportedly warned freshman Democrats this week on the cost of their sweeping proposals, urging them to figure out how to pay for them. The Green New Deal is a massive overhaul of the nation’s economy and energy use, with an estimated cost that could reach well into the tens of trillions of dollars. The Post said Obama said that The Affordable Care Act, or ObamaCare, was the policy that Obama said he was willing to lose his office over. Obama also reportedly talked about the importance of working with constituents and “staying in touch” with them. Omar later claimed she was misquoted by Politico, tweeting that she is a fan of Obama.
