“Unemployment is low because everyone has two jobs. Unemployment is low because people are working 60, 70, 80 hours a week and can barely feed their family.” – Self-described “Democratic Socialist” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, in an interview on PBS Firing Line, July 13th, 2018
The Editors’ Quote of the Day:
The more she opens her mouth, the more obvious it becomes how well she would fit in in the “worker’s paradise” of Venezuela. Frightening, truly.

I’m sure other names have been created for this BRIGHT and SHINING example of the SUPERIOR intelligence of the Libtard party.
For someone who’s collegiate training is in economics, she is a freaking moron. Everyone having 2 jobs does not lower the unemployment rate. Everyone working 60, 70, 80 hours a week does not lower the unemployment rate. Only more people working or more people leaving the workforce (no longer looking for work) lowers the unemployment rate. Even the U6 unemployment figure is pretty low. The U6 figure is the unemployment figure to look at to get a clearer picture of what the actual unemployment rate truly is.
The real reason unemployment numbers are low is the refusal to count the unemployed,they have been faking the numbers since Nixon’s Henchmen were running things when Alzheimers Reagan drooled on himself in the White House. We are at Depression levels but covered up by welfare programs
What is most frightening is that half the country agree O-C and her ilk.
I swear on a stack that the first time I saw her I thought I was watching a Saturday Night Live send up poorly acted by a guest host with no comedic talent.
Then I thought even the most ideologically infected libitard would be embarrassed to be represented by this air-headed cretin.
Now…well I’m sadly not surprised. This is why I’m 5 miles back and a mile up the fire road. The older I get the more I am in the world but not of the world. Just passin’ thru, thanks, with a lot more road behind than ahead.
In response to this dufus dimwits “unemployment is low” blathering, because everyone has two jobs, working 60-70-80 hrs a week and barely squeezing by is because. READY, here it comes… you want open borders with untold thousands of unskilled low IQ immigrants coming here to work for peanuts and make those that do hold adequate jobs to fork over untold thousands for benefits for those same immigrants, cause you know, everyone has a right to healthcare and all the other hogwash they spew from their pieholes.
Now I’m no scholar, but I’d say this cankerous wretch probably has an IQ of somewhere around that of bacteria. But on second thought, I think bacteria might have the upper hand in this case.
If she and others like her have their way, everyone will have a job….. just like everyone had a job in the Soviet Union.
Especially in the gulags.
Heartwarming ain’t it?
truely braindead…
I hope she gets to meet Phil Abuster, Senator from one of those 7 extra states that Obama mentioned.
She is called Occasional Cortex around here. The frightening thing is that she (and other socialists like her) has captured the fancy of many people. Unless something happens to make a strong negative impression on people, Socialism will continue to be fashionable in many places in the US.
Also called Occasional Castro.

I wish she would get no respect
“Crazy Eyes”, also known as “Crazy Mouth”.
Snowflake libtard socialist. Saw lots of them at Harvard last summer.
Almost every college campus is overrun with her twins these days.
SAD!
This is the face of the enemy. Know them for what they are. They will come for you and what you have using any and every means. Where they cannot subvert the legal system to do so, they will send in Antifa. We will be forced into a war with them sooner or later. Be prepared. These United States are united, in name only.
