AOC’s ‘New Green Deal’ Is Stunningly Absurd

Feb 9, 2019: 10:32 pm

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) released her bill for a “Green New Deal”. It’s stunningly absurd.

Today AOC released her New Green Deal Proposal. It’s a wish list of socialist and green ideas, most of which are obviously absurd to all but the most economically clueless persons. It has zero chance of passage and it’s nonbinding, but here are some of the key ideas.

Upgrade all existing buildings in the US
100% clean power
Support family farms
Universal access to healthy food
Zero-emission vehicle infrastructure
Remove greenhouse gasses form the atmosphere
Eliminate unfair competition
Affordable access to electricity
Create high-quality union jobs that pay prevailing wages
Guaranteeing a job with a family sustaining wage, adequate family and medical leave, paid vacations, and retirement security to all people of the United States

Here are a couple of comments from Twitter.

Fyre Festival of Legislative Proposals

The Green New Deal is the Fyre Festival of legislative proposals. Everyone spends all their money on what’s promised to be an amazing destination only to get there and find yourself sleeping in a tent and selling your soul for a bottle of Evian.

As Bad as Expected

Democrats have released the “Green New Deal,” proposal and it’s just as bad as expected. This liberal proposal is full of leftists ideas that would cost taxpayers an astronomical amount of money. #GreenNewDeal

No, it was far worse. Perhaps Heritage is more imaginative than I am.
