She’d know the names Milton Friedman and John Maynard Keynes if she did. She’d know how to pronounce Keynes, which she does not, and she would not conflate their names nor their philosophies as they are worlds apart If she had the curiosity or the desire to know about economics enough to graduate from one of the most prestigious universities with such a degree
It’s a lie
