Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) owes about $20 thousand in student loans. The loans were taken out by her for her own education [which based on the results, she should demand a refund from the school] and she took the money with the promise to pay it back. Now she wants you, the taxpayer, to pay it for her and for everyone else who made the same promise.

The socialist congresswoman spoke at a hearing at a House Financial Services Committee on Tuesday where she had the audacity to attack the GOP for her situation and that of people with student debt.
“I’m hearing people on this committee say it’s not our job,” the socialist said, referring to Republicans, according to the New York Post. “This is our job.”

No, when you take out a loan for your personal benefit, it's your job to pay it back. It isn't mine or anyone else's job to forgive your debts. Nobody owes you anything.
The committee was discussing how to bring down the estimated $1.5 trillion in student debt owed in the United States.

I have an idea: have those who took out the loan pay it back.
“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,” she whined. “I just made a payment that took me down to $19,000 so I feel really accomplished right now.”

Using a garbage compactor is also an accomplishment for AOC and setting the clock on her microwave.
AOC is one of 70 members of Congress who are still paying off student debt for themselves or a dependent, according to the Post.
In August, President Trump signed an executive order to cancel student loan debts for permanently disabled veterans, which is clearly a different circumstance than that of a rich kid from Yorktown Heights [her family moved from the Bronx when she was five]. Her generous salary comes from taxpayer money but she wants more of the same to pay off her debts.

That's socialism folks. It's immoral.
