Ocasio-Cortez gets pants on fire on economy statements

Unemployment is not low because "everyone has two jobs", as Ocasio said. Only 5% of workers of save two jobs.

Unemployment is low because Obama got us out of the recession and boosted the economy with his policies.

Trump's disastrous ideas are expected to fuck things up soon (tariffs, deregulation, etc.)

I'm not worried about the propaganda she is spreading in this area. I'm a big fan of propaganda. It's her repeated attacks on the left I take issue with.

She will learn and grow. This isn't her first day on the job. That hasn't even come yet. The learning curve will be long. Lets not eat our own. I'm not exactly happy with her but also understand what it looks like when someone young with zero experience is elected. No matter what happens to her people need to understand that this seat is ours. She cannot lose it for us in the future. She can only lose it for herself. I don't think that is going to happen. She is going to be taught by some of our best.
