Ocasio-Cortez's rise reveals rampant economic illiteracy in US

Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), made headlines when she revealed that she wouldn’t be able to afford Washington, D.C. rent until her government salary kicks in.
 
The lack of affordable housing in Washington is no joke, but the predicament also speaks to the young lawmaker’s financial literacy — or lack thereof. The 29-year-old didn’t think to consider something as basic as the relocation expenses of a new job opportunity.

If she doesn’t know how much an apartment costs, how much confidence should taxpayers have in her ability to effectively deliver trillions of dollars in campaign promises?

  3. Again: she would be out of her depth in a parking lot puddle. May the citizen of New York get in full measure every thing they deserve for voting into office a bimbo like her.

  4. To claim she doesn't know how to play the game, borders on willful ignorance. I say those of us w/ a house dem rep, petition to have her speaker of the house, much better results. https://www.fec.gov/data/candidates/house/?q=H8NY15148&cycle=2018
    Why deny such a repressed minority from running the matriarch. Yes, I used the proper term, as marriage defines all of Congress.
