Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is on board with Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-VT) proposal to erase all student loan debt, because she has not paid off her student loans either, she said Monday.
While making remarks in support of Sanders’ sweeping bill to cancel $1.6 trillion in student loan debt, Ocasio-Cortez discussed her “personal stake” in the fight. She wants to make the bill a reality, in part, because she has outstanding student loans.
“I will be completely honest. I will disclose my personal stake in this fight because I have student loans too,” she said Monday. “And I think it’s so funny. A year ago, I was waiting tables in a restaurant.”

Agree with her, but only if the loans paid for by the government are for graduates that studied Science, Technology, Engineering or Medicine. Students of social justice, gender studies and the like still pay their own. Also, limit the payments to students in state universities, no Harvards, Yales or Princetons!

I would encourage her to dance more and would even pay to have a pole installed in her office.

So she would personally benefit from such legislation. If that isn't illegal, it should be.

AOC should not worry about her college loans. She actually has a refund coming from Boston University, as an apology for granting her a degree in the first place.
Is this a great country, or what? Where else can you go from bartender to dancing on her roof to being a member of Congress?

I want all mortgages canceled because i have one too. If my schooling had been free i would have used all that money to pay cash for the house and wouldn’t have a mortgage. And if my schooling had been paid for I shouldn’t have had to use that cash to buy a house instead, so i should be paid for the house as well.
Now, make me president.

Me thinks the liberals in this country want a European, free education system so they don't ever have to "engage with the free market system" until they enter their professional lives. If that's what they want do they know what that brings? Do they realize that in Europe failure to score high on their High School nationalized test means they have NO chance of university ever, anywhere? If they don't score high enough they will be looking at a life in a skilled trade, assuming they can pass the rigorous apprenticeship and testing that goes with that. If they can't do that they're resigned to being a shopkeeper of some sort, and competing with the gypsies and muslim invaders. Yes, American punks, you want that? If so you're nutz.
The whine of the millineal punks, "Capitalism is, is, it's just so hard!"

Well then, can we cancel our federal taxes (which pay her salary)? After all, I have bills, too...

So let's see here. I get free college so I can get a good job in order to pay the government enough taxes to hand over and provide free college to the next guy. Hey wait a goll derned minute here. By cracky this is shell game . Why college loans as is allow me to go to school now and pay later without paying the extra bit for government bureaucracy to get in the middle. Son of a gun looky there, they're trying to pull one over on us ain't they.

In a non-crooked non-corrupt culture with an honest unbiased media seeking the truth morons like this social ditz would be laughed at and driven out of politics.
So many idiot lefty loons getting airtime.
The daily drumbeat of clueless clowns.
We need to build more clown cars!

Why does she still have student loan debt? She’s 29 years old and should have paid them off by now. I wonder how much she’s getting nailed in interest. She makes something like $174,000 per year now, so paying them off should be no problem. She just wants it done with OPM like every leftist on the planet.

OAC chose to go to a very expensive college. OAC chose to take out student loans. OAC chose to be a bartender/waitress instead of getting a different job for which her college degree should have qualified her for. OAC has made a series of choices which have led her to still have student loan debt. I should not have to pay her bills due to her poor choices. I have my own bills to pay.

Conflict of interest. Potential ethics problem. She should recuse herself from comment, from debate and from vote.

Why doesn't AOC work part time, tending bar and waiting tables, to pay off her loans? She could set a good example for the rest of the snowflakes!

Become a member of the elite and get through life for free! Offer good retroactively! Suck the middle class saps dry for fun and profit? What are they gonna do? Complain? LOL! Ignore them! Refuse to pay their taxes? Put them in the jail cells now open by the release of illegals and violent felons!
What good is being a constitutional republic when representation is taken over by thieves, sociopaths and criminals of all stripes? With service members in the desert at this very perilous time I’m wondering what/who it’s all for. Are our military members and their families sacrificing only for the benefit of the elite and the radical?

ALL this disturbing 'elected' official wants is all things to be hers.
She makes it very hard for me to urinate...as my already tiny member does 'the boxturtle' as soon as IT appears.

She should ask her school for a refund. They obviously didn't teach her anything.

Why should I pay for her loan. Din't she grow up in Yonkers with a silver spoon in her mouth? She needs to pay her debt.

Cortez may have borrowed money to go to Boston University, but she emerged from the experience uneducated and ignorant. Boston University is complicit for what she is now.... a braying donkey.

She's making $175,000 a year with lots of perks. Just how much does one have to make a year before becoming responsible?
