AOC Mistakes Inflation For Deflation As She Struggles With Economics 101
Politics · Dec 2, 2025 · BabylonBee.com

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was stumped during her introductory economics class this morning as she greatly struggled to understand the basic concepts of economics. To the shock of her fellow classmates, AOC confused inflation and deflation after accidentally referencing the decrease in prices during deflation in the discussion on inflation.

The class proceeded relatively normally after the confusion was alleviated, but the awkwardness in the room was palpable. Those around her reiterated the importance of the basic distinction between inflation and deflation as AOC still appeared unsure of the difference. In a turn of embarrassing irony, one of her peers even remarked "this isn't rocket science!"
