AOC contradicts Biden, says economy in 'crisis' during union workers speech
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said the U.S. economy was in a "crisis" on Sunday, seemingly contradicting President Biden on a core pillar of his re-election campaign.
"Our economy is in a special kind of crisis. Our whole economy is in a special kind of crisis," the progressive lawmaker said at a union rally in Wentzville, Missouri, on Sunday.
"Now if you ask a Washington insider or a Wall Street analyst, they will tell you, ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about,'" she said. "They’ll say, ‘Look at GDP. Look at the growth rate.’ They’ll say, ‘Look at job numbers. How are we in a crisis?’"
Without naming names, Ocasio-Cortez accused Washington elites and others like them of not having to make tough economic decisions before aligning herself with workers who feel the financial effects "in the callouses of our hands."

"Because those of us who do have to make those decisions, feel the economy in the callouses of our hands and the aches of our joints at the end of a long day, so we don’t have any time left, proper time, to spend with our children or loved ones."...

AOC had a net worth of 4K when she won office in 2019 and now she is worth around 3 million. Does anyone here wonder how she made that kind of money so quickly. Do you think she has callouses on her hands? Do you think her joints ache at the end of a long day talking? Granted her feet may hurt after she takes her high heels off at the end of the day. At least she is right Bidenomics is like trying to put lipstick on a pig.
