AOC quotes Milton Keynes, a fictional economist

Perhaps the reason the Democratic Party doesn't do so well with economic growth has more to do with the "geniuses" in the Democratic Party who don't know their elbow from their nether regions.

Enter Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez [aka Alexandria Obviously-Comatose].

Once thought to be the "future" of the Democratic Party by DNC Chairman Tom "Potty Mouth" Perez, socialist and Boston University graduate AOC (D-NY) went on Instagram Saturday to enlighten the world with her analysis of our country's economy.

She said she recently read how, in 1930, "famed economist Milton Keynes predicted that by 2030, GDP and technology would have advanced so much, that it would allow everyday people to work as little as fifteen hours a week and provide for their families."

Not only does this aim to appeal to those who hate working, it also appeals to those who are clueless about what this cretin says. There is no such "famous economist" named Milton Keynes, nor has there ever been.

Comatose evidently confused famed libertarian economist Milton Friedman with John Maynard Keynes, the latter who was a progressive liberal.

She later clarified that she'd mistaken Friedman with Keynes which would have given her a zero on her economics exam, and pretended it was a typographical error. Except if you look at the video which I so graciously provided below, you can see that she doesn't appear to be reading from a script.


"UGGGH TYPO. It's John Maynard Keynes. Mixed his name with Milton Friedman — a (very) different economist," she wrote in a subsequent Instagram story.

The Cambridge Dictionary defines typo thus: a mistake made in printed material produced by a computer or a typewriter.

So AOC not only doesn't know what she's talking about, she doesn't even know that what she's talking about wasn't a typo. Imagine her as POTUS some day.
