In a Sunday interview, Democratic presidential hopeful Kamala Harris refused to put a price tag on the Green New Deal and "Medicare-for-all," both of which she has endorsed, saying it’s “not about the cost.”

Fox News reports Harris has joined Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker to co-sponsor the Green New Deal, put out by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that included guaranteed income even for those “not willing to work.”

It also calls for the elimination of flatulent cows and air travel.

Asked about concerns that the deal could cost around $93 trillion, Harris argued that Americans can “change our behaviors,” adding “Of course we can afford it.”

She said she was looking forward to hashing out the dispute with her Democratic rivals in upcoming primary debates.
