Green New Deal
Howza ’bout that Green New Deal that Acaseof-Kotex came out with? Immediately a bunch of Dimocrats running for prez signed on to it. Please, please Dimocrats, run on this. It’s so bad that AOC had to take it down from her website. Then, she claimed that Republicans were lying about it. Then she claimed that they had hacked the FAQ.
Let’s look at some of her proposals.
Totally eliminate fossil fuels in ten years. Is she kidding? Where is the electricity gonna come from to power all of those electric cars and the high speed trains. Wind, solar, and hydro ain’t gonna cut it. Oh, and nuclear power? They want to get rid of that too. All of that in ten years. Maybe they can use moon power. They just need to create a bunch of moon panels.
Replace airplanes with high speed trains. JHFC! The high speed train from San Francisco to LA won’t be completed in 10 years and she thinks we can create a network of high speed trains to cover the country in 10 years? As Bugs Bunny would say, “What a maroon!” And deep thinker Mazie Hirono wants to know how people will get to Hawaii. A big long bridge for the high speed train Mazie.
And, of course, there is the promise of high paying green jobs. Where have we heard that line before. Oh, I know, Obungler used that in 2008 where he promised 5,000,000 high paying green jobs. How did that work out? Remember Solyndra?
Here are some of the proposals.
“upgrading all existing buildings” in the country for energy efficiency;
That means your house or if you live in an apartment, upgrading the building which will mean an increase in rent. But the savings will come with decreased energy costs. Yeah, because wind and solar are cheaper than coal and natural gas.
working with farmers “to eliminate pollution and greenhouse gas emissions … as much as is technologically feasible” (while supporting family farms and promoting “universal access to healthy food”);
Stopping then cow farts.
“Overhauling transportation systems” to reduce emissions — including expanding electric car manufacturing, building “charging stations everywhere,” and expanding high-speed rail to “a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary”;
“Charging stations everywhere” Better make sure they’re less than 100 miles apart.
Who wants to go to Hawaii, Europe, Asia, or the rest of the planet? As for the US, let me know when a train can go from the West Coast to the East Coast faster than a plane. For that matter, let me know when a train can get from LA to San Francisco faster than a plane. I’ll bet those California congresscritters will love commuting from DC back to their districts by train.
A guaranteed job “with a family-sustaining wage, adequate family and medical leave, paid vacations and retirement security” for every American;
What does that have to do with green shit? Don’t forget the part of an income for those people who don’t want to work.
“High-quality health care” for all Americans.
Gummint run healthcare.
Of course, we know that this is all a front for socialism. When asked about how to pay for this her answer was the “shared prosperity” for all Americans.
Supposedly she has a degree in economics from Boston University. That could explain why she was working as a bartender. But now she’s hit the big time. As a socialist leader she can get rich. After all, that’s what socialist leaders get. The rest of society gets poor.
“If socialsist knew anything about economics, they wouldn’t be socialists.” F. Hayek
