    All that doesn't make her smart as hell.

    My examples weren't simple factual errors. She didn't misstate the inflation rate or get a date wrong. She claimed something that was not true in any state. She had no concept of accounting. Not very smart.

    90% of Congress probably has no idea of what a gallon of milk costs. Doesn't mean they're stupid. And I doubt anyone in the Pentagon even understands its accounting.

    Okay, how about you run for Congress? Then see how many factual errors you make.

    You're like the guy in Row Y screaming that the RF is a clown.

    It wasn't a misunderstanding of Pentagon accounting. There was a report that there was some huge figure of Pentagon spending that was improperly accounted for or unaccounted for. AOC took it to mean the money was misspent or wasted and could have been spent on social programs, when it simply meant it was unaccounted for and went both ways, I.e both a credit and a debit. Basic accounting concepts. She had no clue.

    Great retort. So many logical fallacies.

    That sounds exactly like a misunderstanding to me.

    No, it was a basic lack of understanding of accounting. Regardless, she found it fit to make some political point about something she doesn't know. Not smart.

    This progression is great. She got facts wrong, Pentagon accounting is difficult, it's just a misunderstanding.

    Will no one think of the mom and pop gas station owners?
