Big banks could be about to get a high-profile enemy in a very powerful place.
Freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who is a registered Democrat but identifies as a democratic socialist, is in line to be appointed to the House Financial Services Committee, according to a Politico report.
The New York legislator has vowed to take on the industry that makes up the corporate backbone for much of her constituency. She said during her successful campaign in 2018, during which she refused corporate donors and upset entrenched incumbent Democrat Joe Crowley, that she was hoping for an assignment that would allow her to take on big finance.
"I think with our district, we can be ambitious, so we're kind of swinging for the fences on committees," Ocasio-Cortez told Hill.tv in an interview after her win. "We might as well ask for something big."
With prominent Democrats looking to unwind two years of deregulation under President Donald Trump, the seat will put her in a position to exert substantial influence.
Her appointment also will give new committee Chairwoman Maxine Waters, D-California, an important ally.
What financial Geniuses the DPST's present to regulate American business. AOC is a Socialist - Totalitarian who love Marx and Lenin, not to mention Putin. These two idiots will be fun to watch trying to screw up things in the name of Socialism. Bet neither could locate Venezuela on a world map.
Fortunately the Senate can keep their stupidity reasonably controlled. Let 'em yammer all they want. Let America watch and learn!!!
