Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez mixing up two "very different" economists during a lengthy Instagram discussion

Ocasio-Cortez mistakenly combined their names into "Milton Keynes."

“I was just reading today about how in 1930, famed economist Milton Keynes predicted that by 2030 GDP and technology would have advanced so much that it would allow everyday people to work as little as FIFTEEN HOURS a week and provide for their families,” Ocasio-Cortez said while discussing the benefits of a four-day workweek with her Instagram followers.

She added that Keynes' predictions weren't completely off-base. She said U.S. productivity per person has gone up exponentially, "the problem is that those advancements have not been enjoyed by the very people who are actually producing the goods in our society."

Yeah. Did you catch it? She said she was just reading about a famous economist named “Milton Keynes.” Yes. Good’ol Milton. Keynes.

Wow.

Now listen, most people don’t know economists, I get that. And that’s OK. But this is a congress-moron. And this is a congress-moron who supposedly has a degree in economics. So how in the h-e-double-hockeysticks is it possible for this troglodyte to get a degree in economics and not know that John Maynard Keynes is a wholly separate person from Milton Friedman?! HOW?!?!

And the thing she’s not even attempting to pretend that she knows who either of these very very important economists are! She FULLY admits that she was JUST reading about “Milton Keynes” a few days ago! Just what the heck was she doing that whole time she was supposed to be studying economics??!

Now that is embarrassing.

Just imagine if a similarly situated Republican made such a gaffe, it would be plastered all over the place! Amazing. And somehow they want to put this dimwit in charge of our entire lives. And honestly, it could happen. The Democratic party is so weak right now and the commies are storming the gate so quickly that it’s scaring even Chris Matthews and James Carville!
