Biden unveils climate change plan using Green New Deal as framework, after AOC criticism
Fox News ^ | June 04 2019 | Paul Steinhauser

Posted on 06/04/2019 6:47:14 AM PDT by knighthawk

Warning that “we must take drastic action now to address the climate disaster facing the nation and our world,” former Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday unveiled a wide-ranging plan to combat climate change and transform America’s economy.

Using the Green New Deal as a framework, the clear front-runner right now in the race for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination announced he’s “calling for a Clean Energy Revolution to confront this crisis and do what America does best – solve big problems with big ideas.”

The price tag for the proposal -- named ‘The Biden Plan for a Clean Energy Revolution & Environmental Justice’ -- is $1.7 trillion over the next 10 years. Biden’s campaign said this would be supplemented by leveraging more than $5 trillion in additional private sector and state and local investments. This is considerably less expensive than the Green New Deal itself, for which cost estimates range as high as $93 trillion.

How about deporting ALL illegal aliens to save over $150 BILLION every year for the next 10 years? Not one penny of increased taxes ought to be levied on US citizens for any new government programs until we get rid of this undeserved financial burden on our country.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

If Climate Change is so serious, what are China and India exempt?

Which would be great.

BUT, politicians aren't about 'saving' money, they are about 'spending' money. That's the only way they get a cut of the money.

His advantage in this race WAS that he was the “moderate” in the field.

No more. If he morphs into AOC they are just going to choose a younger, more attractive candidate who already holds those views.

We need to figure out how to orchestrate a global warming holy war between our communists and China’s. The more casualties the better.

They don't. They plan to take your money, and throw it to their friends and donors, who will then give them money to run for re-election. As long as they have that wealth and power, they can avoid any discomfort from 'climate change'. They have no need to change anything, especially the 'climate'. All they need to do is take your money.

Biden is the emptiest of empty suits. He literally has nothing of substance to say and, looking at his record, had done nothing of any consequence over the life course of his career. He's done so little, I'm surprised he hasn't been arrested for loitering at the Capitol building or the WH.

So burn down the economy, allow illegal aliens to basically take over the border, but hey we’ll save the trees.
