GOP Strategist Calls Ocasio-Cortez 'The Little Girl.' She Lets Him Have It.
Nobel economics laureate Peter Diamond — “arguably the world’s leading expert in public finance,” according to Krugman — has calculated the optimum top tax rate at 73 percent. Several other experts back that up.
So Ocasio-Cortez, “far from showing her craziness, is fully in line with serious economic research,” Krugman added. Republican policy to keep taxes on the wealthy low, on the other hand, “rests on research by … well, nobody,” he added.
Krugman’s conclusion: Ocasio-Cortez “definitely knows more economics than almost everyone in the GOP caucus.”

Well, whadaya know!
Republicans and economics. They are even worse at that than they are with science.
Look at what they did under Reagan, then Bush and now Trump. Three economic disasters in a row.
