Controversial Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez faced a fierce backlash on social media Tuesday after lecturing Americans that have already paid back their student loans.
“Things were bad for me, so they should stay bad for everyone else’ is not a good argument against debt cancellation – student, medical, or otherwise,” posted the Congresswoman from New York.

“The burden inevitably falls back on middle and working class just like everything else. I have my own bills. I cant pay everyone else’s,” fired-back one user.

Controversial Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez escalated her ongoing feud with Facebook Thursday; saying the social media platform relies on “white supremacists” to be “successful.”

Ocasio-Cortez ripped the White House’s use of a standard labor index this week; saying ‘Human Capital Stock’ is “an ugly term with an ugly history.”
“Human Capital Stock. An ugly term w ugly history, but for many powerful ppl it‘s their most honest view of workers: human stock. By their logic, the moment a person stops being useful to profit motive (retirement, health, etc) they are a liability. That’s the system we live in,” posted AOC on social media.
