    Can you point to where in the Instagram post she said she was an expert .... in anything?

    "I was just reading today about how Milton Keynes, a famous economist back in the day, predicted that by 2030 US GDP would grow six to eight times what it is, which would allow for everyday people to work 15 hours a week,"

    BTW although she represents a place (Queens, NY) I was born and grew up eyt no longer live at she is definitely waaay left of center for my taste. But neither is putting words in someone's mouth.

    Google, buddy.

    It's John Maynard Keynes. Milton Keynes is a suburb of London. I thought it was a neighborhood in London, but I was wrong.

    AOC may have received special tutelage from Dr. Bitcorn at BU. That would have been about right.

    I would be just as aghast if someone claiming to major in literature started talking about Joseph Shakespeare.

    Are you really stupid enough to criticize some else for their knowledge of something that you clearly don't know the first thing about because you can't even spit out the right name of the guy (or guys?) you think you're talking about? Dunning Kruger at its finest here folks!

    Umm, you don't get it. You aren't alone here. Perhaps you lack the ability to see sarcasm.

    I have read John Maynard Keynes (pronounced Kanes). I thought it was common knowledge among college-educated adults. I guess not.

    I quit ET for good. No sense arguing with morons (that aren't even charismatic). That stench you smell is your own essence.

    Wow...

    This is why I strongly believe that ET management needs to make the below statement more prominent at the top of the forum and in the registration process instead of only in the Politics section.

    Not for the faint of heart. If you are easily offended, stay away from this forum!
