Democrats are increasingly lining up to support a \u201cGreen New Deal,\u201d which, while vague on details, could end up being the largest expansion of government in decades.<\/p>\n

As it stands, the \u201cGreen New Deal\u201d is more aspirational than actual policy. Indeed, it takes its name from the New Deal of the 1930s, and its main backer, incoming Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, compared it to the Great Society of the 1960s.<\/p>\n

More than 40 Democratic lawmakers\u00a0support<\/a>\u00a0the \u201cGreen New Deal\u201d as part of a broad plan to fight global warming and bring about what they see as \u201ceconomic, social and racial justice.\u201d A\u00a0poll<\/a>\u00a0found most Americans supported the deal, but knew little about it.<\/p>\n

Ocasio-Cortez\u2019s \u201cGreen New Deal\u201d calls for creating a House committee to draft legislation to fight global warming and turn the U.S. economy into something akin to what Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders envisions. Indeed, the \u201cGreen New Deal\u201d could be a preview of what policies the Democratic Party will back in the 2020 elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is going to be the New Deal, the Great Society, the moon shot, the civil-rights movement of our generation,\u201d Ocasio-Cortez\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0at a panel event in early December alongside Sanders, a likely 2020 presidential contender.<\/p>\n

Those goals include moving the U.S. to 100 percent green energy, federal job guarantees for workings forced out of their fossil fuel jobs, guaranteed minimum income and universal health care.<\/p>\n
