The green New Deal: No plan like this has been seen since “The John Galt Plan”
“The Green New Deal resolution a 10-year plan to mobilize every aspect of American society at a scale not seen since World War 2 to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions and create economic prosperity for all. It will:
Move America to 100% clean and renewable energy
Create millions of family supporting-wage, union jobs
Ensure a just transition for all communities and workers to ensure economic security for people and communities that have historically relied on fossil fuel industries
Ensure justice and equity for frontline communities by prioritizing investment, training, climate and community resiliency, economic and environmental benefits in these communities.
Build on FDR’s second bill of rights by guaranteeing:
A job with a family-sustaining wage, family and medical leave, vacations, and retirement security
High-quality education, including higher education and trade schools
Clean air and water and access to nature
Healthy food
High-quality health care
Safe, affordable, adequate housing
Economic environment free of monopolies
Economic security for all who are unable or unwilling to work
National mobilization our economy through 14 infrastructure and industrial projects. Every project strives to remove greenhouse gas emissions and pollution from every sector of our economy:
o Build infrastructure to create resiliency against climate change-related disasters
o Repair and upgrade U.S. infrastructure. ASCE estimates this is $4.6 trillion at minimum.
o Meet 100% of power demand through clean and renewable energy sources
o Build energy-efficient, distributed smart grids and ensure affordable access to electricity
o Upgrade or replace every building in US for state-of-the-art energy efficiency
o Massively expand clean manufacturing (like solar panel factories, wind turbine factories, battery and storage manufacturing, energy efficient manufacturing components) and remove pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from manufacturing
o Work with farmers and ranchers to create a sustainable, pollution and greenhouse gas free, food system that ensures universal access to healthy food and expands independent family farming
o Totally overhaul transportation by massively expanding electric vehicle manufacturing, build charging stations everywhere, build out high- speed rail at a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary, create affordable public transit available to all, with goal to replace every combustion-engine vehicle
o Mitigate long-term health effects of climate change and pollution
o Remove greenhouse gases from our atmosphere and pollution through afforestation, preservation, and other methods of restoring our natural
ecosystems
o Restore all our damaged and threatened ecosystems
o Clean up all the existing hazardous waste sites and abandoned sites o Identify new emission sources and create solutions to eliminate those
emissions
o Make the US the leader in addressing climate change and share our
technology, expertise and products with the rest of the world to bring
about a global Green New Deal.”

It was funny to hear AOC backtrack a comment 12 hours after she made it regarding governmental role in her plan.
Thursday morning, she told NPR that it does involve "massive government intervention". But later in the day, on MSNBC, she called the rumor that it would involve a massive government intervention a "mischaracterization".
And Kimberly Strassel slams the plan beautifully, saying
“By the end of the Green New Deal resolution (and accompanying fact sheet) I was laughing so hard I nearly cried...if a bunch of GOPers plotted to forge a fake Democratic bill showing how bonkers the party is, they could not have done a better job. It is beautiful.”
The looter named their plan, “The John Galt Plan.“ There were a number of promises, such as,
“It will give more freedom to the individual and strengthen the bonds of collective obligations.”
-from Atlas Shrugged
Yes, that is the logic of the looting left.
EVERYTHING this woman dragged up in her unlimited and unhindered-by-facts "vision" can be characterized by the same idea.
As a simple exercise, Cortez should play with a scale, balance it out with equal weights on both sides, then gradually take weight off of one side and add it to the other. Would she be wondering why the scale would lean heavily to one side, in this case the deficit site?
It is an enigma what was she studying in her economic class and how did she graduate cum laude?
- Communism
- Whole Life/Permanent Life Insurance (ie, non-term)
- Global Warming (Now Climate Change)
- Comprehensive Immigration Reform (as if creating MORE LAWS that are not enforced will somehow help, it just gives them the INCH they need to get AMNESTY for the ones who came here... REGARDLESS of the fault of their own!)
- Common Core (being renamed by individual states to hide it)
- Green/Environmentalism (When people realized Environmentalists were ANTI-HUMANIST, the gig was up, they renamed it)
The left gets 3 Benefits:
- NEVER having to admit they were wrong (via controlling the media)
- Continuous Attacks against anyone challenging them (Deniers, I tell you. Climate Deniers, Truthers, Birthers)
- The appearance of being in alignment with the majority.. (again, because of the media)
Joe Biden has been playing it smart, and may be the likely winner of the Democrat primaries for the 2020 election. He's embraced none of the socialist ideas that are in vogue with every Democrat presidential wannabe so far. If he chooses not to run, the party should panic, because either Howard Schultz or Michael Bloomberg will run as an independent, with classic liberal policies, and will drain the votes of traditional liberal Democrat voters, to the benefit of a second Trump term.
I think the dems are priming O'Rourke. Texas Senate race was a trial baloon with 86 million invested to see how he did. He got a lot of millenians and he talks like a white version of a black preacher. I think they are keeping him with a low profile until 2020 when he will spring out and take over. I could see him with Harris as the VP pick to cover the black woman vote.
I havent listened to any real policies he is advocating. I would imagine its un-thought-out garbage at this point (not as bad as AOC who wants to end air travel- amazing how accurate AR was in Atlas Shrugged to predict whats going to happen with socialism
When you wish upon a star...
They have a year to quiet my polish o rourkr.
Wait until the "oh-so-concerned" crowd realizes that this eliminates Amazon Prime two-day shipping!
No No Cortez must go
No No Cortez must go :-)
"Today is the day that we truly embark on a comprehensive agenda of economic, social and racial justice in the United States of America," AOC said alongside Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., and other lawmakers outside the Capitol. "That's what this agenda is all about."

She has less than 12 years to write it.
Oh, I left out the Easter Bunny, Bambi, and a few others. My bad.

Progressive, marxist platform:
At first I thought this was funny...then I realized the awful truth of it.
Tax his land,
Tax his bed,
Tax the table
At which he's fed.
Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes
Are the rule
Tax his work,
Tax his pay,
He works for peanuts
Anyway!
Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.
Tax his ties,
Tax his shirt,
Tax his work,
Tax his dirt.
Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he
Tries to think.
Tax his cigars,
Tax his beers,
If he cries
Tax his tears.
Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways
To tax his ass.
Tax all he has
Then let him know
That you won't be done
Till he has no dough.
When he screams and hollers,
Then tax him some more,
Tax him till
He's good and sore.
Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he's laid.
Put these words
Upon his tomb,
"Taxes drove me to my doom..."
When he's gone,
Do not relax,
Its time to apply
The inheritance tax.

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?
Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, and our nation was the most prosperous in the world.
We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.
What in the hell happened? Can you spell "politicians?"
And I still have to "press 1" for English!?
I think that if this country is to be saved, the home-school movement will be instrumental.
No wonder Cortez took it down.
