" Green New Deal" more dangerous than you think

" Green New Deal"

Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., hasn’t officially started her first term in office, but she’s already pushing a massive, far-left proposal that would fundamentally transform much of the economy and push the country closer than ever to socialism.

For several weeks, you might have heard Ocasio-Cortez reference the creation of a “Green New Deal,” but until recently, few people knew what would be included in the plan. In a draft resolution to form a select committee in the House that would help develop legislation to put her plan in action, Ocasio-Cortez finally outlined numerous proposals that she says should be part of future Green New Deal legislation. Taken together, the many ideas included in Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal would be the most radical policy shift in modern U.S. history, dramatically increasing the size and power of government and running up the national debt by trillions of dollars.

According to Ocasio-Cortez, the Green New Deal, which has been endorsed by Sens. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., Cory Booker, D-N.J., Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and at least 40 House Democrats, would eliminate nearly all fossil fuels from the electric grid and force everyone in the country to buy from power companies selling only renewable energy.Not only is Ocasio-Cortez proposing to eliminate the hundreds of thousands of jobs in the fossil fuel industry in the United States, even though America recently became a net-energy exporter, she’s demanding this transition occur in just 10 years, from 2020 to 2030. The proposal includes numerous other radical policies as well. For example, Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal would also create a single-payer healthcare system. If it’s anything like the Medicare for All plan promoted by Sanders, the cost of this single part of her plan would be $32 trillion over the first 10 years, according to estimates from the Mercatus Center. Ocasio-Cortez also says her plan would include a federal jobs guarantee “to assure a living wage to every person who wants one.”

You might be wondering where Ocasio-Cortez plans to get the tens of trillions of dollars it would cost to carry out these and the other socialist policies offered as part of her Green New Deal. According to the “Frequently Asked Questions” section of her draft resolution, Ocasio-Cortez says her proposal could be paid for using “the same ways that we paid for the 2008 bank bailout and extended quantitative easing programs, the same ways we paid for World War II and many other wars”: raising taxes, printing money, and creating new publicly owned banks.

Who would lead the charge in this radical new effort? Bureaucrats — the same people who can’t run the Postal Service or Amtrak without incurring huge amounts of debt and who haven’t managed to balance the budget in nearly two decades.

Although reports indicate House Democratic leadership plans to kill Ocasio-Cortez’s proposal for a new select committee, Green New Deal supporters say they are going to push forward and attempt to create legislation that would make these policy pipedreams a reality.

Make no mistake about it: This is one of the most dangerous and extreme proposals offered in modern U.S. history. It’s the sort of thing you’d see in the Soviet Union, not the United States. If we don’t stop the Green New Deal, our economy may not survive. This isn’t a battle we can afford to lose.

This " Green New Deal" It really is a complete take over of every faction that keeps a country a free Republic. It takes over whats been called the 4 legs/dynasties of control of any nation,
1.government, 2.financial institutions,3.educational system, 4.Religious system.

This Green deal puts all these things under threat of control by a Socialist left government who's religion is climate change, but it true goal is Power, for the few to control the many they must overturn Capitalism and freedom. The new deal controls not only energy and transportation policy but what we eat, our income , our education , healthcare,our homes and work spaces and much more.
IMO It is the closet type thing yet we have seen to a beast system of Revelation. i.e. mystery Babylon...

More than alternative energy, what concerns me most about this is the "what we eat" part. This is veganism worked into this mess. The bible allows us in this age to eat meat, at least clean meat. Rather, they want to grind up unclean insects and have us eat that for protein. At least make it grasshoppers, crickets and locusts! But that protein is not the same as a red-blooded animal such as steak, lamb or venison. Just like fish is not the same as a land animal, nor is fowl the same as a red-blooded animal. All these "meat" creatures are different and one needs a variety to get a balance of nutrition along with vegetable forms of life. while I am not against eating insects, and may help some of the starvation issue, they grind them up into protein powder to make them more appealing. Like a regular animal, they ought to be cooked as you can get diseases from insects eaten raw.

As for energy, I know I throw around the solar a lot, but that does not make me a greenie any more than visiting a church makes one a Christian. The issue with solar energy with me is 1) It's free which is the Pa Dutchman in me and 2) it would be a way to cheat the power companies, especially this flunky one I have. I want independence and be able to work my home as an independent unit. If I had such a system now, except for communication/Internet, I would be a self-sustaining entity for months off external grids of any kind. This Socialist Congresswoman who proposes all that green stuff probably hates the "evil corporations". Well, I do too. You know what's happening to me. But I found when they just want to come by and take your land, they are doing what she wants to do (no independent land ownership sovereignty). Corporations, don't be deceived, are run by extreme LEFTISTS. They are the elitists of the leftists who feel they have to watch (and live off of) the rest of us minions. They want an oligarchy and minions under them. Not a roll-up-you sleeve American type where we all work our way to the top and each independently contribute. Corporations are the "private" counterpart of the leftists in government. And because of this, they fight each other for the same thing (power). They are no more conservative and American than Putin with apple pie.

Yeah I dont think most people have anything against wind and solar energy my grandson works for Tesla I like electric cars

But this plan is more about destroying the entire current economic and government system and making us Venezuela on steroids.
If you have read anything of how the Venezuelan government controls people by witholding and or limiting who gets food and medicine. North Korea also controls people this way ... So when you think about whats in this deal I think It as much or more about putting control of the masses and everything you do in the hands of the top few.

This Green plan includes many radical programs that have nothing to do with so so-called “green” energy.
It would include provisions to “mitigate deeply entrenched racial, regional and gender-based inequalities in income and wealth.

For example, Ocasio-Cortez’s proposal calls for the creation of “basic income programs” and single-payer health care.
The Green New Deal would also establish
1.A federal jobs guarantee
2.Eliminate air travel
3.Free education for life. GND promises free college or trade schools for every American.

It doesnt just ban meat but
4.provide A salubrious diet. The GND promises the government will provide “healthy food”
to every American. Another words the government will decide what or if you eat
(do you really think any one that disagrees is going to get food? ..shades of mark of the beast system )


5.A house. The GND promises that the government will provide, “safe, affordable, adequate housing” for every American citizen.
So they can even decide where you live and whats adequate? If you dont follow the elites rules dont count on being in the safest neighborhoods

6.Free money. The GND aims to provide, and I am not making this up, “economic security” for all who are “unable or unwilling” to work. If you’re unwilling to work, the rest of us will have your back.

The Green New Deal would eliminate fossil fuels from all electricity generation and transportation within ten years ..
the infrastructure doesn't yet exist.
The most vaguely worded parts of Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal plan are those that promise to increase the power of labor unions and give favors to left-wing industries.

It would run up the national debt by tens of trillions of dollars. Although no one knows exactly how much the Green New Deal would cost, a very conservative estimate is $40 trillion in its first 10 to 15 years.

My point is this plan has less to do with climate change and more to do with changing America into a Socialistic nation. Under the guise of global warming

Well, the most humorous thing I read is that they plan to "assure a living wage to every person who wants one". That is so laughable and ridiculous. Since when has that ever happened or ever will? Common sense tells you that any time a person's wage goes up (even minimum wage) that prices on all goods and services also go up (higher than one's wage does) and then taxes go up on everything. Ludicrous.
