How does she expect to attract the best by offering to pay 'least'?
Now I AM impressed!
That’s a “living wage”?
Where will the money come from?
Perhaps she will start learning some of the basics of real world economics, when she has a real payroll to meet.
Probably not though. Nor would she likely admit to it, if she did. She has had made her bed on the side of fantasy economics, and will likely have to lie in it.
I thought that is U.S. taxpayer money?
How is she paying them through her salary?
I HIGHLY doubt that.
That’s mighty white of her! :)
If interns are will do do the job for free, then hire interns that will work for free.
What actually happens with ‘unpaid’ Congressional interns is that they’re actually employed and paid by outside interest groups.
The lid blew off on that during Kavanaugh when one of Sheila Jackson Lee’s interns doxed Republican Senators.
Although I’m willing to bet that Ocasio-Cortez is actually oblivious to that when she made this announcement.
How does she expect to attract the best by offering to pay ‘least’?
... paying the same as McDonald’s?
Good!
That will put all the crony Democrats ( and Republicans) in Congress to shame.
The Hill is calling her “The Democrat rising star”...
WHAT THE CRAP HAS SHE DONE OTHER THAN WIN AN ELECTION BECAUSE HER OPPONENT WAS A LAZY-ASSED DEM PARTY HACK?
Talk about how the media “pimp’s” Democrat elected officials!
Now you know why most of the liberal media is thoroughly corrupt and in the anal area of the Democrats (they long ago got out of their pockets and aimed lower).
At least $15 per hour means $15 minimum and maybe more.
The fewer aides that Occasional-Cortex has, the better.
“Both chambers included funds to pay interns in appropriations bills earlier this year, set to take effect in 2019.”
SO.... she’s trying to take credit for something that was voted on before she even got ELECTED to office ?
.WE will pay????? Who is WE? I guess WE do know. It is WE the taxpayer!
