With her economics background, she knew it was horse shit when she went on during the spring about how the Fed could give out X amount of money in loans when we could have paid off student debt with that.

She knows how the Fed works. She knows what she said makes no sense. But she also knows the average voter doesn't know that. 

No doubt she plays politics.  That's the difference between her and someone like Greene or Trump.  They honestly don't seem to understand what they are saying while "playing" ploitics.

I know people with a degree that have no common sense.  I know people w/o degrees who are some of the smartest people I've ever interacted with.

I think Ben Carson is a brilliant surgeon but woefully uniformed about a lot of subjects he chose to speak on.

But to call someone "dumb" just because you disagree with them is lowbrow, IMHO.
