Good day all. Alexandria Occasional-Cortex is in her third term as one of the stupidest members of the House of Representatives. She is expected to win a 4th term, since here constituents are even dumber.
One of the things AOC is noted for was graduating from Boston University with a couple of useless majors. One in International Relations and one in Economics. She has long since proven that she learned nothing. What she did leave college with was a large debt. In this, she wasn’t unusual.
What is unusual is that, after almost four terms in congress, she hasn’t paid off her loan yet. In fact, AOC has a history of not prioritizing her bills. (A member of the house has a base pay of $174,000) Instead, she announced she was “Freezing her eggs” which is not a cheap process. Here are the details from the New York Post:
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has made at least $174,000 annually for nearly eight years as a member of Congress, but like many of her “Squad” colleagues, she has yet to put a substantial dent in her student loan debt, according to House financial disclosures.
The Bronx and Queens Democrat has owed between $15,001 and $50,000 in federal student loan debt since her election to the House in 2018. That’s the same amount she owes now, according to her August disclosure, where lawmakers report ranges for debt and income. The “Tax the Rich!” pol reported less than $81,000 in total assets.
I don’t believe that for an instant. It sounds like she’s been taking lessons on asset hiding management from her pal, Ilhan Omar. If that is all she has, then she is utterly incompetent at managing her own finances.
Ocasio-Cortez amassed the loans while attending Boston University as an international relations and economics major between August 2007 and May 2011 — and went on to tend bar in Manhattan before her successful run for Congress.
So she was handing out free booze to the voters? That’s about the only way she could have won. She’s certainly not competent for the job. Of course, most of the idiots in congress aren’t competent.
The “Squad” Democrat has consistently backed student debt cancellation. During former President Joe Biden’s term, she even pushed the 46th commander-in-chief to cancel as much as $50,000 in debt per student borrower. But she’s not the only US lawmaker who’s still holding student loans. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) has held up to $50,000 over the past eight years in student debt — despite her net worth ballooning for a time to as much as $30 million due to her husband’s winery and venture capital businesses.
Apparently, these two deadbeats could actually be exceptions. The Representative for Gaza, Rashida Tlaib, has put a large dent into her loan.
Fellow “Squad” Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) had up to $100,000 in law school loans that have been partially paid off in the same time period — but could still amount to as much as $50,000 too, per House disclosures.
Meanwhile, moderate Rep. Jared Golden (R-Maine) similarly held up to $100,000 in outstanding student debt but paid off at least half of it by his last House filing.
So what is the excuse for not paying down her debts? I think the simple answer is the correct one. She thinks she’s special and that it’s up to the taxpayer to pay off her loan on her worthless degree. She was pushing Dementia Joe Biden to write off all the student debts run up by people who’s degrees were basically, worthless. In one of his few lucid moments, Dementia Joe didn’t do that.
“Entire generations of working class kids were encouraged to go into more debt under the guise of elitism. This is wrong,” she said in February 2021. “Nowhere does it say we must trade-off early childhood education for student loan forgiveness. We can have both.”
“We’ve got the Senate Majority Leader on board to forgive $50k. Biden’s holding back, but many of the arguments against it just don’t hold water on close inspection,” she added, criticizing lower proposed debt cancellations of $10,000 or so.
Apparently, Biden’s handlers did try to clear the loans by Executive Order. However, the supreme court told Biden that he didn’t have that authority and needed to go through congress. Congress didn’t pass any legislation either and I don’t recall AOC submitting any for consideration either. One reason it would have failed? The hit on taxpayers, especially with the massive Bidenflation that was underway.
That could have cost taxpayers as much as $430 billion over a decade-long period. Other plans Biden floated in the wake of its failure could have cost up to $475 billion.
“It is very important to note this SCOTUS ruling does NOT remove Biden’s ability to pursue student loan forgiveness,” Ocasio-Cortez posted after the 2023 decision. “The Biden Admin can use the HEA (Higher Ed Act) – our position from the start – to continue loan forgiveness before payments resume. They should do so ASAP.”
So, instead of paying down her debts like anyone would who had a massive increase in their income, this horse faced bimbo may have blown her money on junk. Now I don’t consider the medical procedures she’s undergoing to be junk, but she is still capable of having children, unless there is a medical reason not to. I have a sneaking suspicion that this little narcissist plans on using a surrogate when it’s physically to late for her to have kids the normal way.
I know that AOC is not as popular as she once was in her district. She also has a Republican sacrificial lamb opponent. While I don’t hold out any hope for the GOP candidate, she can make AOC squirm by just listing all the things she’s done to her district instead of for her district. AOC will probably win. Of course, it’s entirely possible the horse can be taught to sing.
