On Monday’s broadcast of CBS’s “Late Show,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) stated that the student loan plan announced by President Joe Biden earlier in the day is “hope” for those who benefit from the plan to be able to do different things, including traveling abroad.
Ocasio-Cortez said, “Actually, I’m going to be one of the few” that doesn’t get any benefits from the program, “I’m a member of Congress. I’m a little bit outside the threshold and bounds. But, if I wasn’t, just a few years ago, waitress me, five years ago, would have benefited from it. Congresswoman me will not, but that’s okay. I’ll take the knock if it means that people can get relief.”
She continued, “And this is huge, this is — people getting the student loan forgiveness, their student loans canceled, it means that it’s hope to buy a house or have a kid or travel abroad or maybe even go back to school and pursue a career that maybe they otherwise wouldn’t have. One of the reasons that’s not me now is because I didn’t feel like I’d be able to afford medical school. And so, hopefully, someone else who’s at an ISEF competition somewhere will be able to do that because of this.

and stay Abroad
Clearly, they are not brains…
With any luck, they’ll stay abroad.
The stupid?!
This is evil.
People who didn’t go to college are STARVING because of Biden’s inflation and Democrat policies that are destroying jobs and all Maria Antoinette here can say is privileged leftist college students with worthless degrees can now take trips to Europe and visit the communist homelands.
“I’m a member of Congress.”
I’m a member of Congre$$.
There, fixed it
Joe Biden is paying for vacations?? Wow!
Well I guess I will have to put off traveling abroad so I can PAY MY TAXES so that people that will not pay their own debt can travel abroad.
Liberal logic!
“ student loan plan…”
The plan was in effect when the papers were signed
It’s a pay back plan or the lack thereof she is yammering on about.
She has an economics degree from Boston University
Something illogical is going on here
or maybe she meant that male students “on the fence” could afford to travel AS a broad? oops...can I post that? does it give my age away? I’m old school so...
Does it give them confidence that their house won’t be occupied by squatters when they return?
And she will be the first one to volunteer.
“because I didn’t feel like I’d be able to afford medical school. ”
Could you imagine Dr Sandy? If she was an OBGYN would she offer prostate exams?
EC
The burden isn’t lifted, only shifted.
This is why I have such contempt for socialists.
AOC=Wonder warthog.
Did you notice that "Black" and "Latino" are capilized but "White" is not? Shows what they think of White people.

We already know what they think of White people...
EXACTLY what percentage of US CITIZENS think they need to TRAVEL ABROAD??
