Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez gives her colleagues a first-hand look at what many people her age are facing, making a student loan payment during a Congressional hearing on student debt.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the youngest woman in Congress, gave her colleagues a first-hand look at what many people her age are facing when she made a student loan payment during a Congressional hearing on student debt.

Ocasio-Cortez graduated from Boston University. She was working as a bartender when she was elected to Congress in 2018. Ocasio-Cortez's $19,000 in student debt is part of the nation's estimated $1.5 trillion in student debt that the House Financial Services Committee met to address. The House Financial Services Committee lists on its website nine pieces of legislation that Congress is considering to help fix the student debt crisis.

People her age must GROW UP!

That’s the price one has to pay 💰 when they go to college. It shouldn’t be a free ride.

It’s called adulting ! AOC

Universal basic income!

EVERYONE has to pay their own way! Get a real life and stop whining, this country doesn’t owe you anything....

ABC News SHAME on you. Some oil and gas people got you eh? Well, I'm gone. Forever.

pvpatty Hey RepAOC pay your bill’s off government time. The ppl pay your salary and paying your personal bill’s is not one of them. Tired of your whining. You knew when you made your college debt you had to repay it. Would you just stop with wanting everything free. Shop less & save...

First World Problems

What’s Chris Rock say about people wanting to get credit for shit “they are just supposed to do?” Anyone, anyone?

What a joke 😂😂 😂😂. I think she need to back too school

SO YOU MADE THE LOAD SO YOU PAY BACK THE LOAD,THAT'S THE WAY IT WORKS.

Shocking!! ...No autopay?

We should definitely buy entitled millennials out of their responsibilities. We’ll have less money, but we can live off credit cards. I’m sure they’ll pay off our credit card debt, too, right?

She voluntarily took out a loan to improve her situation - and she improved it massively. Now she’s going to complain about repaying the loan? Now she’s arguing -I- should pay her loan? I don’t earn 200k a year like you, Congresswoman. And I PAID my student loan. What do I get?

She got a 500% raise when she went from bartender to annoying politician. Why doesn’t she just payoff her $20,000 student loan with her $174,000 salary? I could pay off mine & my children’s student loans on her salary. Give it to me instead.

do not take out loans you cannot afford, wtf is wrong with people?

AOC likes to play a victim for sympathy. Work hard & pay your loans off. It’s not the governments (tax payers ) job to pay off your loans, housing, shelter, food, etc...

When Rep. Cortez stops taking a paycheck then she can complain about student loans. She makes over $200 thousand a year now, she can afford her student loans. Our Government has NO RIGHT to tell colleges what to charge for tuition for their school.

Can I get on TV making my mortgage payment?

Your student debt is your choice. Why do other people have to pay for it?

It was a personal choice, if you didn’t want a large student loan do what I did, get a job with a company that offers tuition reimbursement

Garnishee her paycheck.

AOC, like all students, voluntarily borrowed & benefitted from the loan. In securing the loan, AOC PROMISED to pay the money back. A loan that someone else voluntarily secured & benefitted from is not an obligation of one or more other U.S. taxpayers. Time for AOC to grow up.

They make aoc decisions and dont go to school for something useful

So her college education was a stupid investment. Can I get money for my mistakes? Why do we elect these people who can’t think logically?

Adulting? Welcome. I paid for college. Nobody bailed me out.

Shut up and pay

People do this on a regular basis now. Not just the crazy look at me people

Too bad she didnt get an education. She slept through all her classes

She took the loan. Pay it

Don’t take the loan out if you can’t pay it back.

Tough to do with a six figure salary......

She should be listening to the hearing, that is personal business which has no place in a congressional hearing.

So you take out a loan to go to school, and paying it back responsibly is considered making a statement? I paid off mine in 10 years like everyone else, while I worked my butt off. I’m live-streaming my mortgage payment next month for all to see! Stay tuned!! 🤲🏼🤲🏼

She now makes $174,000! Pay your own damn debt!

It's called a bill, we all pay them.

not, we should encourage the people who want to help solve this problem for our generation and our children’s as well. Stop promoting misery cos you succeeded in overcoming your miserable period.

I’m all for revamping how the loans are structured and interest rates. I think these loans pray on ignorance and stupidity but it’s a life lesson. And someone’s decision is not my responsibility.

Wow. That's some bold stuff there. I made my payment yesterday because I'm also an adult

The rationale of people commenting in this post here is-I was a slave for 10 years so we can’t librate other slaves until they serve 10years- if there’s a way to avoid this generation from being bogged down with debt, it should be done. I don’t have much stu loans, and I’d rather

That's so Woke! Pay your debts and rely on yourself! Brilliant example. But if she majored in Econ why was she a bar tender? Aren't there high payiing jobs for Econ majors? That doesn't make sense to spend $ like that and not get a good job. Why would you do that?

SUCK IT UP AOC AND SHOW MATURITY- You took out a loan to get a college degree, just like getting a loan for a car or a house, why should US taxpayers eliminate this debt for you or others? No freebies, take responsibilities... MAGA2020

Lol.

What about a first hand look of what people my age deal with? Getting robbed by the govt every pay day!

It took me 10 years to pay off my student loans! I remember writing the last check to CFI and the pride that I felt! It’s not just people her age, I’m 49 years old! What’s next....come on, grow up!

I paid my car loan. Need a press conference

If you take a loan, it's a commitment to pay it back. It's part of being a responsible grown-up. I took 10 years to pay mine back but when I took it out that's what I knew I would have to do. Tired of all these alleged adults whining about their debt.

Good you are doing what you are supposed to do.

I’m 62 and working full time as a teacher. I’m paying back the debt I knowingly assumed. I’ll be paying it until I die. I am not complaining to anyone. I wish that I didn’t have to pay it back too. However, if I don’t I know someone else will have to assume that burden. No.

You make 170 grand already, stop the whining please 👎👎

Are you kidding me Why is allowed to use government time to do personal business

And does she think that there’s something wrong with making a student loan payment like they shouldn’t have to make a student loan payment isn’t that part of being an adult? This girl is being bought and paid for everything she says and does is scripted I smell Soros$$$

AOC

Oh that paper I signed for the money you loaned me.....I have to pay that back 🙄 Adultingishard

She hose the degree now she gas to pay. Many choose not to go to college. They did not sign up for her debt obligations

been there, done that. finally paid my student debt off late last year, 16 years after graduation only I didn't bitch about it or make a post of my payment while on the job. hope AOC reads the bills she passes more thoroughly than she read her loan agreement. keep your promise

What a joke. Why don't u do your job maybe u need to back to school.

This is newsworthy? It’s called adulting! Our tax $ should not be paying her salary to be handling personal business while at work. getofftheclock to take care of your business!

She’s paying back money she borrowed. Got it. 👍🏻

So, paying back a debt, which she chose to take out, while making a very good income now working a full time job?

Debts saves lives by means of debtors asking for those who hated debtees most to pay all of their taxes and debts as part of the sportsmanship War. One thing for sure these people who hated those who are in debts should pay their taxes and debts before doing something bad tothem

Hey ABC that ad you aired about AOC was disgusting and disturbing you know better

She just wants her debt paid by taxpayers

Bless her heart

As the old saying goes “they put their John Henry on it ✍🏼”

Do I get reimbursed for paying mine back?

I think the real issue is that she wasn’t paying attention in the meeting....

Buyer beware

sooo....what does she want? for people who didnt go to college to pay her debt? shall we ask the homeless to pay our mortgage?

Humm wonder if I can get all mine retro..as I paid as I went along for everything without borrowing a dime ? Would be nice .. it's called work your ass off and study at the same time

Unlike others her age. Her college owes her a refund.

Why doesn’t she pay the whole thing off ? She makes around $137,00 a year. I make less than $37,000 and still pay on mine. It just goes to show u, it’s a budget item. Some can budget, some cannot.

Because that wasn’t dramatic . I forgot to call CNN to do a story on me when I paid of my student loans!

You borrow money/take out a load you have to pay it like everyone else. Quit trynna act like youre special

The point is that college should be free..it’s also a humanizing story people. Understand journalism before you bash it. 👍🏻

🤣

Why are some of y’all upset about this? She’s paying her loans! Be upset if she weren’t paying. Just be real, you don’t like her so you’ll find anything to complain about. “How dare you pay your loans?! Be an adult like be.” 🙄😂

She is definitely a piece of?

Tuff shit if you choose to go to a expensive college and take out loans to pay for it. It is your responsibility to pay it back not the government's.

That was her decision to take that debt on. No one cares

I was lucky my college was paid by the US Navy

It was last year or two years ago a doctor owned over 600K dollars from 5 or 10 years back the federal government never went after him but they go after the small student loans people but not those that owe more than 100K dollars

Just curious. What did she graduate in from Boston University since she was employed as a bartender. Mist not b much of a degree. Also, my kids worked hard in high school to get scholarships to help pay for their schooling while also working part time to help pay . No sympathy

Last time I checked if you take a loan, you pay back.

Did she use any of the $800K money she hid in her LLC companies?

This weird nice fluff piece does not make up for y’all running that gross ad of her on fire last night. Try again.

Cry ,cry, take the responsibility & pay ittso others dont have too.

Adulting, who knew bills had to be paid from decisions one makes

Nothing new that the rest of us have done

Why anyone offer free education and free healthcare for all. US has the biggest military budget for foreign wars but not a dime for its own citizens wellbeing

Did she understand what she was signing?

I owe more today than the amount I cashed out in. I have made every payment but the total goes up and up. I’ll die with this loan. No matter what I pay.

And this is news? When you take out a loan you payback the loan

She makes $174k a year. I think she can afford a student loan payment. I paid off my student loans and let’s just say that I don’t make $174k.

We will put a little stare over your name and you won’t have to sit in the corner today! Now let the adults talk about important issues. Bwhahahahahah now this is funny 😄

She owes $19,000, she gets $175,000 a year, free, from the taxpayers, and is not legally required to do ANYTHING! Yet she still complains about having to pay back the money she voluntarily borrowed. She embodies the attitude that is wrong with the left. VoteThemOut!

Yes. We all pay on our loans. So?

I had to pay my student loan and so did my children. One of whom is still paying. No student loan would be nice; but is unrealistic. Unfortunately, we are not all born with a silver spoon.

prpeep ABC - why would you accept and run the add you did?

Oh no! Poor her and every other winer! It’s called working for what u get. There’s a term called “earn”. It’s not fun, it’s not always easy, but it’s right and feels good! Try it!

.....on her 174k per year salary ....poor baby

Are you kidding me? Making a payment on a loan that you promised to make payments on? This is new or amazing? So sad!! Be responsible “kids”!!!

easy way out, don't be a student 🤣🤣🤣

Why should anyone else have to pay your debt if you cannot afford to go to school don't go.

Don't believe this apparatchik AOC

young people through out centuries have had a hard time.u have to earn your stripes nobody will give u anything

The AOC comedy show continues.

She is so silly

Life choices. She chose to get a loan to fund her college education knowing full well she would have to pay it off. Managing bills and debts are a part of adulthood.

Well America, the cost of a MBA at Harvard is over $100,000 a year. A top flight Canadian MBA can be $25,000 total. You are doing it wrong.

I work 2 jobs have family pay 1 class at the time it may take me forever to graduate but not going to give up

In other news, ABC refused to air ads from the Freedom From Religion Foundation. They either do not respect the Separation of Church and State or fear backlash from unhinged christers.

Ill happily share a video of me making a payment on my credit card for the debt I voluntarily took on, its stunning and brave.

Bless her. I made them every month for ten years. With 3 kids, mortgage, car payments, braces, AC unit replaced, Church contributions......

AOC It’s important to recognize the wants, and needs in life. You may want the $150 pair of Jordan’s. But you need to pay your bills. Checks and balances. You just have to do what’s right and ask yourself, “what’s essential to life, and what is not.”

Big deal

At 29 (20 years ago) I also had student loan debt. I worked hard and paid it off. So, I don’t feel badly for her that she has $19k in debt.

Don’t borrow money if u can’t pay it back. No one forces anyone to take out a loan. Why should the tax payers pay for other people’s student loans? Many people that will be asked to pay for others student loans worked 2 jobs so they wouldn’t have to take out loans.

yep, that's how it works. She's so grown up!

Too stupid to get a higher education is the problem. Anyone seeking a Student Loan should be made to pass a serious Economics Exam...

It is a slow news day isn’t it This is week old news ABC. Where you been

She makes $175k per year/ what’s the problem?

I paid off my college debit. It's part of the process. Now I will say some colleges are a bit $$$, but just don't go there.

Here's the thing about these loans. They are not just for tuition & books, they are also for living expenses. I put myself through 2 Masters, paid back over $40K & worked full time. Free tuition & books make sense but why should taxpayers pay for students to party, and they do!!

My kids both make loan payments willingly and in a much less drama queen fashion. She gets no points for actually being accountable for paying her loan that she made the choice to take out. It's expected, especially for a Congress person.

Nothing worse than a coworker bringing their damn bills to work to pay.

You go to college to make your adult life better, don’t make everyone else pay for it.

So what? She’ll pay them off and go onto become a multi millionaire. What a great deal. 👍

Is ABC joining the propaganda network with Fox News The anti AOC ad was disgusting. Be better ABC.

No one force them to go to expensive colleges. I had to pay for my college tuition. Get a job or better yet get 2 jobs. Plenty of jobs out there because of Trump!! Wtf

Woe is me...AOC , ever the victim.

Ur a Shining example of the American dream sweetheart. Make NYC Rent Control happen.

I will never understand the Lefts obsession with trying to make us feel sorry for those who decided to take out a loan.🤷‍♂️We do it for houses, cars, furniture, and even food, via credit cards. Seriously, just stop bitching and take responsibility. NotMyProblem.

The same AOC in the ad you aired? Maybe you should address that before you use her name in a story.

I had not realized that ABC news has now joined the ranks of Fox news, acting as a propaganda station for the White House, Republicans, and whatever foreign powers are willing to pay the network.

Funny thing about borrowing money. At some point, they want it back! Luckily, student loan interest rates are low.

Welcome to being a grown-up

Too bad so sad 😭- go away

I’m sure nobody in the room had ever made a payment before. Journalism 🙄

Correct Headline: AOC A US Congresswoman used time during her job to do personal business. She makes $174K per year and wants the girl making $9 an hour at her part-time job at McDonald's to pay her student loan debt. This is Narcissism on Steroids! This is THEFT!

In the case AOC, the college ought to refund her money, as it is evident she learned nothing. I guess when you enter a higher-learning environment thinking you know it all & feeling superior to your professors, you wouldn't listen enough to grow new neuro pathways.

Who elected this child.

If I say I like this Post, Does That Mean I Like The Fact That This Is Obvious InJustice? Social Media Is Too ComplicaTED 4 ME.

AOC doing personal things on tax payer time...🤔

The ad inciting violence by burning AOC’s face with human skulls and dead bodies was not only aired on Sinclair’s networks but also on ABC’s own Fresno-Visalia and NYC markets. Dana Walden, Karey Burke, and James Goldston must apologize. Media accountability matters. BoycottABC

She’s really good at manipulating the masses

Good. It’s a LOAN. That means she has to pay back my tax dollars.

If the only job you can get with a college degree is as a bartender, then you have to question why you went to college in the first place. Good bartenders are hard to find but you don’t need a college degree or the debt to become one. Pay your own bills AOC!!!

Too bad The tax pair is not responsible for her debt or anyone else’s

Perhaps RepAOC should have done what I did to get thru Universtity and pay for it - work. Work summers at one job and work the school year at a different job. Guess what other people do each week? They pay bills of all kinds; rent, house payments, utility bill, etc. WalkAway

She makes enough money to pay her bills. Does the dimwit think she reinvented the wheel here? We’ve all had student loans to repay.

Join the club...student loans, GI bill, part time jobs got me through. You do what you need to do to get to the place you want to be.

Really? Many people are making as much money as her? After last nights 'debate' your 'news' network lost all credibility. The moderators where just pushing a narative, and tossing beach balls to hit, DISGUSTING

Ffs..before college student loan were taken over by the Obama Administration, private banks could deny a person a student loan if they determined that person wouldn't be able to pay off the loan. Before 2010, there was a 98% payoff rate of student loans!

Pay your damn loan, you borrowed now man up and pay it.....bunch of crybabies

Earth-shaking.

So did I. AND repaid every penny in tough times. AND sending two kids to college on single salary. I understood my responsibility to repay and I did. DON’T BURDEN NEXT GENERATIONS WITH YOUR STUDENT DEBT. studentloandebtcrisis studentloans Students StudentDebtCrisis

We had them too. I’m 54 now. I paid off all of my loans. It’s what adults do. Of course ABC knows this. Yet legitimizes the concept NOT paying off money YOU borrowed. Shameful DNC Propaganda piece here folks. Nothing more.

So you got yourself into a mess and expect someone else to bail you out. Whatever happened about being responsible for your own actions?

She went to a private university. Why would anyone feel sorry for her? SUNY only costs about $8k per year.

The AOC comedy show continues.

Yes AOC should pay her student loans. After all, it was her choice to go to one of the most expensive universities in Boston. No one twisted her hand, no one forced her, it was her own choice. She could have gone to a city university in NY. Her choices, her responsibility.

How deplorable that would feel running that disgusting ad about RepAOC was appropriate. Wphsy type of people are you, how do you look yourself in the mirror? Sicko. BoycottABC

Seems the investment is paying off for her financially, if not intellectually.

I will never watch anything on your network ever again BoycottABC

Then she made poor choices to go to college that she couldn’t afford!

I paid my. Work and pay your loan .

Nothing but a show, this is all she is doing. Pushing or bullying her way into the public eye with this nonsense crap. She is silly, arrogant, selfish and very inconsistent with her words, and issues. Book smart, no common sense of the real world. She hasn't even lived it yet

“My $175k salary isn’t adequate enough to make payments on my $23k student loan that I decided on my own to enter into! Life is so unfair! I shouldn’t have to pay for things that I benefit from. It’s so unfair!”

Ohhhhh wellll!!!!

So? Many of us have paid off student loans. Once again ComradeCortez is the darling of the FakeNewsMedia

You borrow money knowing you have to pay it back! Good grief. Same for cars and real estate! Grownups repay their loans.

I mean, it sucks if you have to take the loans. I was paying em off at her age too. Not sure why it is news, but yeah, debt sucks until it is payed off. So good for her for paying it. Is this like when the Beto guy danced on a table? Or had his teeth cleaned? One of those.

Wow she had to pay her bills....poor thing on ONLY $174,000 a year I think she can afford it. Stupid piece you are putting out here. People who borrow have to pay. Same with buying a house. You bought an education, pay for it. Everyone else did.

Free speech. You go girl!!!

She chose to go into debt. She agreed to pay for it. So pay for it. Tired of everyone asking me to pay their debt. Do they want to pay my credit card debt?

so it would be a personal benefit to her on relief...i'm shocked!

I didn’t know you could borrow that much money for cosmetology school.

Terrible cost benefit analysis on her part. She didn’t need a degree to be a worthless congressperson that’s worshipped by the media.

Speechless over that disgusting Ad you aired Just horrified at ABC

To all you dim people on this thread. 🙄

Truly we SHOULD feel sorry for her because whatever she paid was a total waste of money

So she did what millions of people have been doing for years. Why now should she not have to?

America should take on the student debt issue and look for ways for student help! Charging $ 70,000 a year to go to University is deplorable! In Canada average degree at University at about $ 40 to $60,000 max! Help America work on problem you all can do bettter!

So what? We've all had/have student loans and we pay them. That's what you're supposed to do. Suck it up!!

I had to defer my payments till December. Had some unexpected things come up. Didn't want to,but choices had to be made.

That is a you problem . I don’t go out and get a bentley then complain . Pay your own debts

Can’t wait till her 15 minutes are up

Boo freakin who. Who hasn’t?

She may have $19K in debt, which is a low figure, but she makes $175K a year with full medical benefits, at least 5X the average US salary so what is she complaining about?

Please. Just pay them back.

You let this ABHORRENT ad play during the debate! SHAME ON YOU!

So she doesn’t believe her college years are worth 20 grand in loans? Equivalent to a cheap car? Interesting.

Sadly, in her case it appears the money was wasted.

Why did News air a commercial during the DemDebate tonight that depicted the immolation of AOC? It was violent, disturbing & serves as yet another death threat to this Congresswoman. SecretService & FCC should take appropriate steps to deal w the source & the threat.

She's the best example of what I don't my want daughters to become

She's getting overpaid. She can afford it.

We already paid much of their way with PELL grants, etc. We shouldn't be forced to pay it all just because they got tricked... Make the rip-off colleges reimburse them.

WTF ABC

Take up a trade instead better pay no student debt

Is this why you set her face on fire with a pile of skulls? Seems disproportionate

There are a lot of triggered people in these comments I hope they feel better 😔😢

Those many people her age haven't fallen into such a high paying job

Such a freaking victim. She is earning $175,000 a year. Pay it off. So tired her whining and anti Semitism.

I'm sure she'll be able to manage that debt just fine.

Give me a brake., live up to your decisions & contractual obligations

She has a $20,000 balance and makes $174K a year. I highly doubt it hurts her! It’s called being responsible and being an adult. If they forgive will they reimburse those of who already paid for our kids and spouses degrees? Fair is fair now!

Awwww. So pathetic. Such a disgraceful liberal narrative. We all have debt. We all started somewhere. We all struggled. She makes 6 figures. Sit down

I just made my car payment here on the toilet. You borrow money, you pay it back. That’s pretty simple.

Did she give them a first hand look at making a car payment too? She went to college and is now a US Congresswoman. Seems like it worked out....

Oh man, no way this little stunt was staged right? Such the wanna be actress this one. lol.

Good. Make more payments. You'll get it paid off. Frankly, $19K isn't even a number to whine about. Most cars cost more than that! Mortgages cost much, much more!

Decades of us paid off our dept responsibly. Now they want forgiveness. Ridiculously irresponsible.

Boo hoo!! How much does she make again

This is what grown ups do we pay our debts that we promise to pay when we borrow other peoples money. It is possible to do without TV CAMERAS . AOC IDIOT

I’m 54 and am still making payments- the loan is likely to outlive me😩

Yes, when you take a 'loan' out that requires a person to pay it back! Good for your for making a payment on your student loan debt.

Pay you ur own debts! Ur degree with useless! U are making $174,000, which is higher than 75% more than average workers! I am not paying your debt!

College debt isn’t my issue... there are plenty of options for students to afford college... stop going to overpriced private colleges. Not my problem, I paid off my college debt

Well maybe you should go back to bartending then.

Can’t afford it, don’t buy it.

Poor thang 😭😭😭😭😭😭

And she also shows the Stupidity of the College System. Go in debt to become a Bartender?

The AOC comedy show continues.

OMG...this is the first generation that has to pay back the money they borrowed. What's this world coming to?

She paid a bill because she got a degree and we should be impressed? Why do I feel like Charlie Brown

taxpayer pays hers

🙄🤷🏻‍♂️

She didn’t even need that degree to become the socialist ocial media star that she is.

Does she think she was the only generation that had student debt we all paid our bills

And she makes 174,000 per year.

Who gives a shit, she agreed to the loan now it’s time to pay!!!

If you can't afford to pay for school don't go. Nagging about student loans debt helps no one.

It's strange how we expect college graduates to today their legally obligated debt. They are paying for crazy Bernie so they can ignore their school loans just to take out a car loan and/or a mortgage. ridiculous Basically they're devaluing education.

Look at her. She’s all growns up! Paying back the money she borrowed like the rest of use! Shouldn’t she be paying attention at hearings not on her phone?

AOC

AOC It is called accountability. You took on debt.

She could have had her college paid for by joining the military. lifechoice

Lol

So what. You create debt you pay your bill. It’s called being an adult

Aww, poor thing. Making a loan payment while making a salary of almost 200k a year. Cry me a river!

Don’t she realize that the Obama administration took over the student loan program back in 2012?

No one cares. She needs to be indicted for finance fraud.

Sad but true, RepAOC made bad choices as a student. She took out loans to get an education but she really learned nothing. Her positions on, well everything, are just idiotic. Her education was not worth what she paid. WalkAwayFromDemocratSocialists

Guess what...I had to pay my student loans too...

Repay the debt that helped you through college that enhances your chances in our competitive world.

We need to Democrats to focus on the border control and do something about our immigration

Did her staff return?

How long has she been making a congressional income? Just now making a payment? Who the hell has she been paying before this

Why did she not go to a in-state public college? Or junior college? Or work throughout college? Did she travel on the loan? BooHoo. No sympathy.

Bartender academy?

She makes almost 200 grand a year.

An educated public is a public good, as much as paved roads and emergency services

AOC chose to go to Boston University. A VERY expensive, private liberal arts college. It costs $70K a year. SUNY back in her home state would have cost $10k per year 🙄

Wouldn't be a problem if you didn't take out the loan 🤷🏿‍♂️

Oh no, you have to pay back a loan you voluntarily agreed to using money from your $150,000 salary. Poor thing. Thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time.

So, she was taking care of personal business while getting paid by tax payer dollars?

What’s the problem? You take out a loan – you pay for it

She knew the costs and still went for it. Choices!

Nothing in life is free when it comes from establishment, that offers you something in return in the end.

If this isn't the most Beautiful Rep. in History, I sure would like 2 know who is. This is the woman of my Dreams!

She dipped into the checking account where her $178,000 salary is deposited and paid a payment on a loan she agreed to as an adult, to pay for her private education? The horrors.
