Betting markets show Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as the frontrunner to snag the 2028 Democratic nomination for president of the United States.

MCCAUGHEY: AOC is unfit to lead the U.S. Back to video

But AOC refuses to pay back her student loans despite earning $173,000 a year as a member of Congress. That’s a red flag that she’s fiscally irresponsible and holds taxpayers in utter disdain.

Her supporters claim her college loans make her relatable. One fan posts on X, “I need a president that’s still drowning in student loan debt with me.” Democratic activist David Hogg posts, “this is what happens when we elect normal people to Congress who have student debt and don’t engage in insider trading.”

Sorry: relatable to the elite but not to everybody. Households in the top fifth for earnings are three times as likely to have college debt as households in the bottom fifth of the economy. That means when doctors, lawyers and members of Congress don’t pay their college loans, working stiffs who never got to go to college — bus drivers, waiters and sanitation workers — end up paying. Totally unfair.

Voters could soon elect a freeloader in chief to the nation’s highest office. If that happens, hold onto your wallet. And prepare for financial calamity.

AOC no Marxist scholar

Political analyst Doug Schoen warned that AOC “carries massive ideological baggage.” Sorry, that........
