AOC: Wealthy Student Loan Deadbeat

It figures that leftist politicians are irresponsible with public money when you consider how they manage their personal finances. Consider presidential hopeful AOC.

The New York Post reports:

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.

Her student loan debt is in the same range it was in when she became a congresscritter in 2018.

Ocasio-Cortez amassed the loans while attending Boston University as an international relations and economics major between August 2007 and May 2011…

She put this education to use by tending bar in Manhattan — until the radicals comprising Justice Democrats/Brand New Congress recruited her to run in her diverse district as a Democrat. Like Zohran Mamdani, she represents the takeover of the party by DSA Marxists.

AOC isn’t the only member of the Squad who hasn’t paid off her student debt:

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.

Speaking of congressional Islamocommies,

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.

Unsurprisingly,

Ocasio-Cortez and other House Democrats also pushed for years for legislation to eliminate student debt, a popular 2020 campaign pledge that Biden tried to implement before his administration was overruled by the Supreme Court in June 2023.

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.

No doubt the plan was for the Rich to pick up the tab. By “the Rich,” Democrats mean all of us, largely through inflation.
