Planes, Cows and Cortez
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AKA Little Miss Space shot) has released an outline of her notorious plan, "the Green New Deal", today. Rep Ed Markey (MA) will join her in introducing this nonbinding resolution in the House of Representatives today. The proposal is somewhat radical, expansive and expensive (est 7 Trillion), though Ms Cortez dosen't mention cost, (nor does she concern herself with such trivia) she considers climate change to be "the single biggest national security threat for the United States and the single biggest threat to worldwide industrialized civilization."
The resolution seeks to shift the entire US energy supply from fossil fuels (which the US is now self sufficient in) to renewable energy - within 10 years!!! Noteworthy would be the elimination of cow flatulence, reducing air travel and providing a source of income for those unable or even unwilling to work!
What an idea!
Also today Speaker Pelosi announced the creation of a "special panel on climate change". (Ms Cortez is not on it, supposedly, she declined). Pelosi refered to the "Green New Deal" as a "suggestion". When asked about her feelings on it Pelosi said “The green dream or whatever they call it, nobody knows what it is but they’re for it right?”
Perhaps Pelosi knows what Ms Cortez dosen't - The American people may not be ready or willing to drastically transform the nation and that the Senate and the President would have to approve this insane monstrosity. Yet some democrats in the House have signed on!
Maybe this is more about 2020 than actually trying to accomplish such a pipe dream without much public support???
The main points from Business Insider:
- Funding projects and strategies to build the US's capacity to face climate-related disasters.
- Repairing and upgrading US infrastructure "by eliminating pollution and greenhouse gas emissions as much as technologically feasible."
- Switching the country's energy supply to use "clean, renewable, and zero-emission energy sources."
- Enacting measures to reduce or eliminate pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from farms, transport systems, and manufacturing.
- Upgrading buildings to be more energy-efficient.
- Protecting more ecosystems.
- Cleaning hazardous-waste sites.
To be filed under radical dreams
I'd say this woman is dumber than a box of rocks, but that would be insulting to the rocks!
That's what BU is turning out these days
Rumor has it that she wants to propose a "breathing tax" since the exhalations of over 7 billion people worldwide adds tons of CO2 to the atmosphere!
10 years? try more like 100 or more before it becomes efficient , reliable , and cost effective to create and maintain. here is an idea , since she is a rep from NYC, how about the city fund a zero emmision electrical grid using the existing water supply aquaducts currently used to supply the cities water?
She will try to tax farts to pay for this
People don't say this unless they've spent a long time spending other people's money.
People don't say this unless they've spent a long time DREAMING ABOUT spending other people's money.
Sorry brother just had to fix that one for ya...
Let's don't assume they're mutually exclusive. She's spent precious little time actually paying her own bills.
That's very true my friend, Very True......
Okay, how are you going to eliminate a NATURAL process? Are you going to kill all the cows? If so, how do you propose to utilize the corpses to prevent decay, more methane from that decay, and overall wasted space for those corpses that are unable to be utilized?
Scares the heck out of me to think what she would try to do to the military....
Her ideas of arming the military are giving them the classic cap guns with the strips or the guns that unfurl a flag that says "BANG!"
Although there aren't enough words in the dictionary to describe this...… person...…. my Fav. is Pelosi's go-to response about Democrat …. issues.
Pelosi = "I see NOTHING, I know NOTHING, I hear NOTHING" !
Pelosi = Sgt. Schultz from Hogan's Heroes?
And Cortez is Colonel (I don't have a clue) Klink !
Lol. Some scared old white guys out there.
Joe Biden is one of them. Obama may not even endorse him should he dare to run for the Presidency.
I think it'd hypocritical for dems to nominate a white man
A lot of ding bat progressives out there.
Rep Ilhan Omar proving my point.....
To be followed a hour later by another tweet calling for the defunding of the DHS.
More proof that most Democrats run on feeling instead of facts.
