Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wrong on several counts about unemployment
Politifact ^ | 7-18-18 | Louis Jacobson

Posted on 07/20/2018 2:35:13 PM PDT by Anti-Bubba182

.....Ocasio-Cortez said, "Unemployment is low because everyone has two jobs. Unemployment is low because people are working 60, 70, 80 hours a week and can barely feed their family.".....

.....In our review, we found many reasons why unemployment is low, and not for the overwork that Ocasio-Cortez cited. The biggest factors include strong economic confidence and the long-running economic recovery.....

....Over the past 12 months, the number of multiple job holders has ranged between 6 million and 7 million. That compares to more than 148 million Americans who are employed in a single job......

This multiple jobs and everybody is working 70 to 80 hours a week claim is the new left meme to dispute the good jobs news under Trump. It's a lie and not limited to this woman. You will see the claim repeated on the news. The left is more and more desperate.

When had being wrong on several counts ever stopped a socialist?

I have now heard Ocasio on several subjects. She has very little knowledge about how anything works. (Her bizarre statements on Palestine and Israel come to mind.) In short, she’s probably the typical politician. I’d guess her IQ at 90. But, compare her to Hank Guam-might-tip-over Johnson. She seems more articulate, but not knowledgeable.

If I saw a picture of her and didn’t know who she is my first impression would be “who did she kill?”

Wrong is a laughable understatement. She has the intellectual depth of a not-so-bright middle school girl.

She’s not just wrong, she’s a damned commie liar (but I repeat myself).

And she has Crazy Eyes.

She has been getting away with wild statements because she was not famous until she had a surprise election victory. I don’t see her wearing well Nationally though she will likely win her left leaning district.

And yet they forget that Obamacare had on full-time employment of 30 hours.

Ocasio-Cortez is never wrong. She is the smartest, most clever, 28 year old ever born. Just ask CNN.

Yeah - like those who would support her work one job - much less multiple jobs.....
