In a recent congressional hearing, freshman Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez showed off her impressive diction during an engrossing discussion about the budget surplus. After citing several sources, AOC managed to put together a few sentences, though some of her colleagues were still left scratching their heads.

When it came time for questions, Ocasio-Cortez asked several of her own, further revealing her lack of basic economic knowledge. Despite her best efforts to explain the concept, confusion abounded in the hearing room as the representative recycled many of the same words and phrases, struggling to find a way to make all the pieces fit. In the end, she once again showed just how out of her depth she still is on the subject.
