Democrats Seat Anti-Free Market Socialist, AOC on House Financial Committee

[Grokmaster]

Good grief. This TWIT has never even held a FULL TIME JOB, and the Dunce-o-crats out her in a position to effect NATIONAL FINANCIAL REGS.?


Great move, Comrades!! Let's get busy trying to DERAIL THE ECONO-BOOM, shall we?

Self-described socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez announced on Twitter late Tuesday that she will join California Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters on the influential House Financial Services Committee, which oversees Wall Street and the housing industry.

California Rep. Katie Porter, Michigan's Rashida Tlaib, Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, and Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley have also reportedly been tapped for the committee by Democratic House leaders, and a vote finalizing their appointments is expected within days.


"I am very grateful for the opportunity to sit on this committee as a freshman, and look forward to working under the leadership of @RepMaxineWaters!" Ocasio-Cortez wrote on Twitter late Tuesday. "Financial Services is one of just four exclusive committees in the House. It oversees big banks, lending, & the financial sector."

According to the helpful post by Anagram, she has a degree in economics. I have a feeling that makes her a better authority on National Financial Regulations than you.

It's not a financial services committee but an anti-Trump committee.

 

[Rogue Valley]

Awww. Elections have consequences.

I believe you once said that to me during the GOP ACA repeal fiasco.

 

[Jezcoe]

I hope they break up Wells Fargo and bring up enough pressure to put people in jail.

That is just one best case scenario IMO.

Yes...her idiocy is newsworthy.

 

[Grokmaster]

Our of curiosity...does she or anyone else on that board have a degree in business?

Great question...not when the Democrats are in charge, I'll wager.

Figures. At least the GOP seats people qualified to be there.

No they didn't.

Yeah...like having IDIOT-o-CRATS who have never run a lemonade stand successfully in charge of the financial services committee.

I would say that a BA in economics is a fairly good qualification to be on that committee. We may not agree with her beliefs. But she at least as an education in economics. There's a few there in that list that Anagram provided that I think shouldn't be there (ex:biochem engineering for example has nothing to do with financing) but it seems from that list there is quite a few that do have the appropriate degree's. From both sides of the aisle.

I'd be more impressed with having actually RAN A BUSINESS, or even having a FULLTIME JOB, neither of which apply to AOC.

How are the listed people not qualified? The vast majority seem to be directly qualified. Far more than the four or five Republicans. You could potentially argue Pressley, Adams, and Casten aren't based solely on their degrees or lack thereof, but even that is arguable if experience is taken into consideration.

Everyone starts somewhere Grok. You're making a mountain out of a molehill.

No I'm not, She is not there to BENEFIT the nation; she is there to blackmail the banking industry, with the same kind of flaming IDIOCY that got us the CRA...and Fannie/Freddie putting taxpayers on the hook for the majority of high risk loans= Economelt.

Nothing wrong with attacking her stances like you just did here. But educationally, she's qualified to be on that committee.

She is an anti-Free Market socialist; that's like putting a vegan in charge of meat production.

Regardless of her beliefs. Via her BA in Economics, she is qualified to be on that committee. If she lets her beliefs over ride her duties she can always be voted out in the next election cycle.

A BA in economics is an ARBITRARY thing...note that she is a SOCIALIST; an MBA is NOT.


An MBA is about BEING SUCCESSFUL in a FREE MARKET.

A BA in Economics is a THEORETICAL discipline.

Regardless, it qualifies her. I don't expect any of our politicians to be experts in everything that they have to deal with. That is why they should listen to experts and take their advice. A degree in what is being discussed however is helpful towards understanding what is being discussed.

Agreeing with our basic economic system is more than a "QUALIFICATION"...it should be a REQUIREMENT, to be in a position to aggregiously damage it, as she may well be.


Her on the Financial Service Committee is like allowing the Red Chines to have our guided missile tech...oh WAIT...the Democrats did that , too, didn't they?


My point is she is a detrimental quantity, in a place where she can do us damage, without a SHRED OF BUSINESS KNOWLEDGE.
