“Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made a student loan payment on Tuesday — and also revealed how much she still owes — while attending a congressional hearing on college debt.

“I literally made a student loan payment while I was sitting here at this chair, and I looked at my balance, and it was $20,237.16,” said the New York lawmaker. “I just made a payment that took me down to $19,000 so I feel really accomplished right now.”

Ocasio-Cortez, a Boston University graduate, was attending a House Financial Services Committee hearing on the estimated $1.5 trillion in student debt in the country. Consumer advocates, experts and public figures testified on different ways to bring the number down.

Ocasio-Cortez is one of nearly 70 members of Congress who are still paying off student loans for themselves or a dependent — with an average debt burden of $37,000. Eight lawmakers are said to have more than $100,000 in debt.

“I’m hearing people on this committee say it’s not our job,” Ocasio-Cortez said, referring to testimony from Republicans during the hearing. “This is our job.”

This is a clear conflict of interest by her and the other Democrats who have unpaid student loans.

They want taxpayers to pay their loans. Conflict of interest.
 
How is it a conflict of interest? If you have a mortgage on your home, does that mean you can't talk about bad lenders etc?
 
If you are a member of the law-making body and advocate for laws that would force taxpayers to pay off your student loan, this is Smithsonian conflict of interest.

One reason why I never went in to politics. Doesn't pay enough. Graduated from professional school in '85 with $40,000 in st. loan debt at 26 y.o. and paid it off in two yrs.

Indeed, congrats.

The ones who really profit are ones like Obama and The Crooked Clinton’s who entered the White House as hundred-aires and are now multi-milllionaires.

Pay for Play worked great.

Easy if the federal government of which she an employee of wipes out all student debt she would benefit from it hence a conflict of interest.

“If you apply for financial aid, your school will likely include student loans as part of your financial aid package. It’s important to understand what types of loans you are offered. Generally, there are two types of student loans—federal and private.

Federal student loans and federal parent loans: These loans are funded by the federal government.”

When loans are forgiven, the taxpayers eat those defaulted loans.

Do your own research next time.

You can talk about anything, but if a person votes for a bill to forgive student debts that is a direct conflict because it benefits them financially. I never think such a bill will pass.

Both sides choose people to demonize. For the right it is Cortez, Pelosi, etc. The left used to blame everything on the Koch brothers but Trump has replaced them.

Indeed.

“As of June 2018, Forbes reported that total US student debt was $1.52 trillion and that 44.2 million people owed debt. The average student debt is $38,390. The median student debt is between $10,000 and $25,000, while 2% of borrowers owe $100,000 or more.”

If one dollar is forgiven, as advocated by the anti-Semite and she owes ~ 20K, by a law which she votes for in the House, it is Smithsonian conflict of interest.
