What an idiot. The New York university that gave her a diploma must be very proud.

[maxwellsmart_agent]

This woman has the brain of a 4th grader. She has no concept of reality, yet she got elected. Tells a lot about how people in New York are paying attention.

[Trump_the_Evil_Left]

Sure, idiot lady, just print the money, works every time!

[Trump_the_Evil_Left]

It was Boston University. But yeah, ridiculous.

[A Formerly Proud Canadian]

I think she has taken a lesson from this character:

(Former Canadian PM Jean Chretien.) No, he has not aged well!

In 2001, Crouton asked what proof he would accept, to join in the war against Iraq. His response was, "A proof is a proof. What kind of a proof? It's a proof. A proof is a proof. And when you have a good proof, it's because it's proven."

Sounds a lot like Ocasio-Cortez, doesn't it.

When my son was a toddler, he wanted me to stay home from work and play with him. I tried to explain I needed to go to work so I could make money to buy him stuff. I asked him where did he think the money came from. He said: On top of your dresser.

Fast forward to summer on 1995...great heat wave and we had no air conditioning. My daughter had enough, jumped off the couch and screamed “go buy A/C and figure out how to pay for it later.”(I did and I did)

My kids were way ahead of Ocasio-Cortez

Lord HELP us. We have become a stupid Godless people !

Believe it or not, it’s in economics.

[Blood of Tyrants]

You just force Other People to pay for it.

[Old Yeller]

Like an old Steve Martin comedy routine: How to be a millionaire. First, get a million dollars.

[Chickensoup]

is there proof that she has that degree? or did she just say it?

[grey_whiskers]

No, Occasio, I think you Dems should pay for it.

BTW, isn't involuntary servitude still allowed in cases of bad debt?

How long do you think it'd take the Dems (and Paul Ryno) to work off 20 trillion dollars?

[seawolf101]

She also wants free electoral college for all.

And she wants to eliminate woman´s suffrage because women suffrage too much.

[notpoliticallycorewrecked]

Yes, it boggles the mind. No wonder she was working as a bartender, she wasn’t able to actually work in a nation that has a capitalist economic system.

Is her degree in socialistic economics or communistic economics?

This bio from Wiki is absolutely bizarre :

" From 2003 to 2007, Ocasio-Cortez attended Yorktown High School,[13] where she won second prize in the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair with a research project on microbiology. As a result, the International Astronomical Union named a small asteroid after her: 23238 Ocasio-Cortez.[14][15]

In high school, she took part in the National Hispanic Institute's Lorenzo de Zavala (LDZ) Youth Legislative Session. She later became the LDZ Secretary of State while she attended Boston University. Ocasio-Cortez had a John F. Lopez Fellowship.[16]

In 2008, while Ocasio-Cortez was a sophomore at Boston University, her father died of lung cancer.[17][18][19] During college, she was an intern in the immigration office of U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy.[20] She graduated cum laude from Boston University's College of Arts and Sciences in 2011 with a bachelor's degree in economics and international relations.[16][21][22]"

Ocasio-Cortez has described her background as working-class, and relates many of her political positions to it. When her father died intestate of lung cancer in 2008,[23] she became involved in a long probate battle to settle his estate. She has said that the experience helped her learn "firsthand how attorneys appointed by the court to administer an estate can enrich themselves at the expense of the families struggling to make sense of the bureaucracy."[24]

She credits seeing the treatment of her cousin by law enforcement, as well as her Catholic faith, for her desire to overhaul mass incarceration in the criminal-justice system.[25]

"Well, if we run out of cash, we'll just use our credit card."

[RFEngineer]

Sure, the new congresswoman from NY gets a few guffaws for this, and rightfully so.

Then again, her answer is the same one given for other socialist programs like Social Security, Medicare, etc.

If you laugh at her, but support other socialist programs, a bit of introspection is needed.

[sickoflibs]

Its more affordable, just like the ACA, don’t you get it?

Its so simple.
