AOC: We won! He quitted!
Why thank you.
She does not have a degree in economics. I could not understand how a economics illiterate tending bar could have a degree in economics.
I can, however, understand how an economics illiterate elected to Congress as a democrat can claim that she has a degree in economics.
It is not true. It’s a lie.
No, no. It’s a bar tending degree.
It was bugging me.
The problem with that quote from Keynes is that he assumed wealth would compound over the 100 years. Instead, government taxed and spent it at levels way above what Keynes assumed would be the case.
I’m sure she wasn’t referring to Milton Keynes, the British city, either.
Milton Keynes?
Was that the name of Harry Truman’s legendary one-armed economist?
A very important person.
ML/NJ
AOC’s claim is that she parlayed an economics degree into a lucrative career as bartender,the best job she could find— the subtle, underlying message being that, as a “woman of color” she had no “access” to the better jobs that a “privileged” white male has.
Sounds to me like an urban legend swallowed whole & regurgitated by the MSM.
Doesn’t pass the smell test.
She has an economics degree, but NOW is reading major economists for the first time?! And can barely understand what she’s reading?! And can’t keep them straight?!?! If she had an econ degree, this stuff would have been required reading.
Has anyone actually fact checked her economics degree?
Or her grades?
She’s quite the mixologist.
I would love to have a few of my old board games...Careers, life, Easy Money, concentration...I bet it’s worth money...
Her economics major is a very small subsegment of economics: Stealing tips from a tip jar!! 😋

I do wonder about her grades.
Of course she has no Econ degree. One does not tend bar with an Econ degree. Just for starters
She should have come out of BU owing about $280k. It is a $70k per year room & board included institution. Not for nothing
An Econ degree for all of that gets one a lot more than a bar tending job
She is full of soup
I know people who are paying more for their cell phones & their monthly cell service than I have EVER paid for a mortgage payment.
MY highest mortgage payments was for a LOG house —2553 sq ft— on 5 acres on a paved road 7 miles from ‘town’.
There is no amount of hourly wage that will satisfy any worker who cannot carefully choose what is important & what ISN’T important.
People today know the cost of everything-—but they know the VALUE of nothing.
But, but, but ...she was a bartender?!?!
That makes her almost as wise as Greta Thunberg!
(The children are always sooooooo wise compared to people with life experience...sarc)
I overlooked that link. Thanks for pointing it out.
amazing how practical focused the games of our childhood were.
Thank You.
I wouldn’t expect a follower of Marx to see any difference between Keynes and Friedman.
In some schools it’s not what you learn it’s who you sleep with.
Ever wonder what the number of college women who did and talked they end up with a free education just to keep it quiet.
No way
I honestly wanted to know how she could have no real job and no knowledge of economics coming out of a highly rated private, outrageously expensive school
That she has no economics degree explains it for me
I have no intention of coming out with a wild accusation such as that she came upon an entire degree by nefarious means. I would not believe that
She has norm Econ degree
Let it go
