Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez went on an extended discussion about economics and John Maynard Keynes - where she referred to him as "Milton Keynes."
The New York Democrat said that the "famed economist Milton Keynes predicted that by 2030, GDP and technology would have advanced so much that it would allow everyday people to work as little as 15 hours a week and provide for their families."

More likely, she was watching Saturday morning cartoons and listened to Milton the Monster.

Boston U should give her money back to avoid further embarrassment.

Oh, it’s worse than I thought.
From reading the headline I imagined her mixing up the philosophies of the 2 economists, which of course gives her WAY too much credit.

It's a place in Britain.
A "new town" built in the 1960s.

Milton Keynes is the name of a small town in the UK.

Give her a break. She obviously meant Milton Bradley.

If you moved AOC's dinner plate 5",
she'd starve to death. She's that dumb.

This is one of those situations where she knows that she’s ignorant of economics but tries to show how smart she is and it backfires...
Actually a better comparison would have been Friedrich Hayek and his book “Road to Serfdom”, instead of Milton Friedman....

Perhaps she meant John Maynard G. Krebs.

I’ll wager Tinker Bell here never spent more than an hour in class once or twice her entire time there. She got the degree because she no doubt represented herself as a minority.
