WASHINGTON, D.C.—After Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spent a few minutes on Twitter lamenting the price of a croissant at an airport, linking it to the need for a higher minimum wage for some reason, an independent degree quality control board issued an emergency recall on her economics degree.
Basic Economic Understanding Bureau officials burst into the congresswoman’s office and confiscated her economics degree early Tuesday morning “for the safety of the nation.” They found it hanging on the wall next to a hammer & sickle flag. They tore it down and returned it to Boston University for safekeeping.
“We received distress calls from millions of concerned Americans,” one BEUB official said. “We pulled up Representative Ocasio-Cortez’s Twitter account, and sure enough, she compared the price of a croissant with the price of an hour of human labor. She seemed to have no understanding of the underlying facts.”
“We get lots of calls like this for economics degrees from Boston University, but we can usually resolve the issue without resorting to confiscation. So it just goes to show that this was definitely a 911 situation we have here,” he added sternly.
While officials were not allowed to detain Ocasio-Cortez herself for a recall and were forced to release her after questioning, they recommended she read Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell or Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt to aid her in her recovery.

The disturbing thing is that she actually has a BA in economics.
Maybe her daddy paid all the tuition in cash?
It amazes me that so many are shocked she has a degree in economics. What do people think Econ Depts teach?
Apart from Econ 101, they teach what AOC spouts.
Far from being an embarassment to Econ Depts, she is a shining example of what they produce. She’s a feature, not a bug.

BOOM BOOM BOOM !!!!!
She’s a fucking Khazar intel agent !!!!
Don’t underestimate AOC because of her obvious logical shortcomings or lack of sound policy….completely irrelevant. She is tapping into those who are willfully suspending disbelief/judgment hoping that by doing so they will get some of “other’s people’s stuff” by putting AOC in power. They know that she is full of crap but think that they will somehow get some resources shifted to them because of their identity politics. Its the eternal promise of a “something for nothing” but of course the cost is the loss of freedom to an obvious tyrant in training like AOC and like-minded power mad commie.
Muy tonto……..

she is starting to age rapidly, the stress of lying giver her a bad case of physiognomics.
/sarc
how would you use that word correctly?
Her physiognomic hangs like sleeve of wizard.
She would be better off in a School of Cosmology. As a customer.
For someone so ignorant I’m suspicious of all the media attention she is getting.
She looks like she’s not present.

Found out she ran for a seat in a district she didn’t live in, how does that work?
This deluded puppet is a dense gas bag with lipstick. Her hair is pulled back too tight, straining an already weak brain.
She thinks her popularity and fellow freshmen femme fatales are going to create new change and upturn the status quo apple cart. Young feminists unite?
Every time she gets a pulpit and speaks, her ignorance is on full display.
Her puppeteers think they chose wisely. They got her elected.
She may have fans, but she doesn’t get anything past the Senate anytime soon.
Rejected, neglected, and disrespected.
She has a face I’d like to smash.
So she graduated with a degree in economics in 2011. Seven Years later she’s just a bartender.
Degree is no guarantee the holder is intelligent. Classroom learning, via tenured profs.
In economics? Major proponents of Keynes, with a large side helping of socialist and PC dogma. IF the student stays awake in lectures and turns in quality work, instead of sleeping off a hangover.
Hell, give me a person who has experience, from the school of hard knocks any day,
over someone with a degree, unless it’s in one of the STEM fields.
But even then, with the tripe they’re fed at universities today?
If forced to hire them, a caveat: Try not to fulfill my expectations of your incompetency.
Prove us wrong, and your reward will come, eventually.
Six figure salary right out of the college gate? Ludicrous.
A former bartender having the wits to be a worthwhile Congressman? Scandalous.
Yeah precipitation trophy

I’m sick of seeing the face of AOC (ASS of Congress)
When will the Media stop kissing her ass?
