Freshman Congresswoman and progressive posterchild, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, has publically admitted her own student loan debt.
The revelation of AOC’s college debt occurred during a congressional hearing, during which the leader of the so-called “squad” made her student loan payment!
“I literally made a student loan payment while I was sitting here at this chair, and I looked at my balance, and it was $20,237.16,” said the New York lawmaker. “I just made a payment that took me down to $19,000 so I feel really accomplished right now.”
Ocasio-Cortez, a Boston University graduate, was attending a House Financial Services Committee hearing on the estimated $1.5 trillion in student debt in the country. Consumer advocates, experts and public figures testified on different ways to bring the number down.
Ocasio-Cortez is one of nearly 70 members of Congress who are still paying off student loans for themselves or a dependent — with an average debt burden of $37,000. Eight lawmakers are said to have more than $100,000 in debt.
“I’m hearing people on this committee say it’s not our job,” Ocasio-Cortez said, referring to testimony from Republicans during the hearing. “This is our job,” she said.
Despite AOC’s admonishment of House Republicans, last month, President Trump signed an executive order to cancel student loan debts for permanently disabled veterans.
AOC should pay ? her student debt. She is not above paying for her education. What a horrible person what a horrible person!!!
Shame on AOC.
AOC needs to make regular student loan payments ti set a good example for other college students who used loans to get through college. What does it say about how naive, innocent in their thinking, selfish, and ignorant, college students really are when they borrow huge sums of money to pay for some supposedly great college education, and when it’s time to start paying back the loans, “can’t afford to live and pay on their student loans” so they want them forgiven. Many of the older generation went to local community colleges and if we were fortunate the company we worked for reimbursed some expenses if we made above average grades in our courses. Of course, for me this occurred after I became a full time employee and it took an additional three years of part time college classes to finish my degree. However it was something I could afford without defaulting on student loans or expecting them to be forgiven or cancelled. So, AOC, get your butt in gear and get your student loans paid off, setting a good example for other students to take responsibility for the debt they incrpurred!
AOC . . . You MAKE those debts, you PAY those debts. quit trying to “mooch off” the American taxpayers. I have NO intention of paying off YOUR student loan. Get with an economist. THEY will help you . . . Team Trump and his allies 2020.
You need to have it held out of your paycheck. No one should try
to get you off the hook. You make over 15K per month minimum. You
also cheat on your monthly expenses, every month, Several more K’s
of cash. Payoff now! You should be ashamed of yourself. Members of our government
are supposed to be fine outstanding individual. You are anything but an
Outstanding person. The people that voted you into office should feel
empty for what they have done. New York has voted you into office.
