2020 Democrats Have Promised To Spend Trillions Fighting Global Warming. Here Are their Plans
dailycaller.com ^ | 5/16/2019 | Michael Bastasch

Democratic Washington Gov. Jay Inslee released a $9 trillion plan to fight global warming Thursday, upping the ante on Democratic presidential candidates.

“You think of the Green New Deal as saying ‘we should go to the moon,’ but in my plan is how to build the rocket ship,” Inslee told The Guardian. “They both have their values.”

Inslee’s plan aims to cut greenhouse gas emissions, ramp up renewable energy and infrastructure and create 8 million jobs over 10 years. The plan calls for $300 billion a year in federal spending to leverage an additional $600 billion a year — for a total of $9 trillion.

This is Inslee’s second policy plan to fight climate change as part of his “Climate Mission” to achieve net-zero emissions before 2045. Inslee unveiled a plan in early May to green the electric grid and buildings and mandate electric vehicles.

Ha! Years ago I remember Dirksen saying ...”A million here and a million there ... and pretty soon you’re talking about real money.”

These people are TOTALLY OUT OF TOUCH!

In 8 years of Inslee as governor, he cannot fix security and infrastructure concerns at the Western Washington State Hospital. Add in that all he is interested in is raising taxes, and spending massive amounts of it on high speed rail, installing toll lanes on I-5, tearing down 4 lanes of hiway, replacing it with a two lane tunnel with a need for traffic to never stop, or the people inside will suffocate. Inslee is a lisping joke.

What are they going to do with the carbon taxes? Give it to political allies to experiment with. If America was carbon neutral, the oceans will still rise, the temperatures will still warm or cool. Americans will be much poorer, and without control on their thermostats, out of their cars, and living in “stack and pack” housing without windows.

Forget having a 5 acre piece of land, and cutting it up into 10 lots and building housing for families. You cannot cut up 5 acres in half and build 2 of them. This is just part of the way they are driving people onto the streets as homeless, or into the cities.

As a lifetime resident of Washington State, I am selling in the early spring of ‘20 and headed elsewhere. Somewhere where people are still free. Anywhere but this State, it is worse than California, with less Mexican midgets.

Unlike Pappoon, who fictionally claimed he wasn’t insane, this inslee character makes insanity the centerpiece of his campaign.

The 3600 signature cycle continues to unfold. Such as floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, bugs and pests as well as crazy unseasonable weather patterns. And the chances for humans to stop or avert any of this are pretty slim to none as this appears to be a re-occurring natural event or cycle. And even if all the politicians stand on their heads, as well as throwing money at what is conceived erroneously as a problem created by humans, what it is not, it would not change a thing.

Just take the ever increasing number of earthquakes worldwide, which are part of this repetitive cycle, even in the wildest imagination it would be difficult to make a correlation between it and anything related to global warming. At least for now and until the general public becomes knowledgably enough and realizes what the real causes are behind some of these events, ignorant politicians will milk these perceived causes for climate change or global warming for all its worth, in order to extract more taxes from the general public under the guise to fight man made global warming or climate change. Humans could not do anything about it one way or another even if they tried.

More signs and events of things to come are part of the 3600 signature cycle as it is unfolding world wide. About 3600 plus or minus years ago similar events gave the then ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Thutmose an Excedrin headache and just about drove him bananas, better known as the TEN PLAGUES, eventually resulting in the release or expulsion of the Israelis from bondage as they, or good old MOSES used these events to their advantage by threatening that there would be more to come unless they would be released.
This event went down in history as the Biblical EXODUS. The catch is that these events were not just limited to ancient Egypt at the time, as we scan ancient, available and somewhat scarce records from this period we will find that ancient China was plagued with very similar events and disasters.

On top of it we are also entering another Grand Minimum Solar (GMS) cycle what may compound some of these strange events, and I would not be surprised if this 3600 signature cycle also has a bearing on the GMS, but that is just my thought.

Just for interest sake about the same time 1500 BC or approximately close to 3600 years ago,1500 BC + 2018 AD= 3518 approx.the time of the EXODUS the volcano located on the island of Thera located in the Mediterranean blew up with the estimated force of about 40 (forty) nuclear bombs, permanently re-arranging the Mediterranean, forming the Santorini Archipelago. At the time turning days into night, also affecting Egypt with pumice from the eruption found there as well.

So far being located in the upper Midwest, overall we have remained pretty well unscathed aside from some flooding here and there. Let’s hope it remains this way.
For someone who never heard of this it may elicit a smile, on the other hand you may want to keep in mind that there has been a steady increase in earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, flooding all over as well as one season running into one another along with crazy weather patterns worldwide. All this just doesn’t happen without a reason and global warming supposedly caused by humans is positively not one of them.

P.S. As you read this some of these crazy weather patterns continue right on, just spotted one post a few paragraphs further down the line.

Unless you can figure out how to control the sun, Jay, it will be a waste of OUR - meaning Americans - money and freedoms will be curtailed, but that is the end game...

We have a wonderful governor (DeSantis) but with all the New Yorkers moving here to escape high taxes - while bring their stupid ideas with them - we'll probably be a democrat hellhole in a few years... Other than that, and our high percentage of crazy people, Florida's nice. You might consider us...
