New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Monday unveiled new details on the so-called "Green New Deal" she plans to introduce in a matter of days, as she worked behind-the-scenes to rally congressional support for the proposal that could cost as much as $7 trillion.

Ocasio-Cortez, who is set to unveil the plan with Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Ed Markey, told her fellow representatives in a letter that the Green New Deal calls for a "national, social, industrial and economic mobilization at a scale not seen since World War II."

First ask her what years in which WWII was fought.

[FlipWilson]

Where have I seen something like this before?

[wny]

let’s recap......a bartender drafts a $7-trillion plan to run the economy after 4 weeks on the job. what could go wrong?

First ask her what years in which WWII was fought.

And, with whom we fought.

[G Larry]

Ask her what ideology we were fighting AGAINST?!?!?!?

I get the impression that AOC is being coached by someone with a detailed plan. I pray that she will fail at everything, but I worry that she’s the next Barack Hussein - the next Manchurian Candidate being created with media complicity. America fell for this once, and they may be recycling that socialist script.

Let these people have their way if you want to take living standards back 4-6 decades.

And, with whom we fought.

And then ask her which of the 57 States was bombed by the Germans?

So - Sandy from White Plains, a tip stealing bartender with the bright red lipstick has been a member of the lower House (approval rating for HOR is about 21%) for 6 weeks and she’s introducing legislation that outlaws the internal combustion engine, the petroleum industry and costs an estimated 7 trillion to implement.

Is this satire?

[Puppage]

And then ask her which of the 57 States was bombed by the Germans?

That's a trick question. Everyone knows that the Germans only bombed Pearl Harbor.

[meatloaf]

Call it what it truly is the Gangrene New Raw Deal.

[PGR88]

The key talking points of this plan, which are all that have been published, are just bonkers. Pure PC sloganeering and soviet new-speak.

Several analysts, meanwhile, have cautioned that the liberal firebrand is in over her head, even though the as-yet vague and uncertain details about the Green New Deal render a precise calculation impossible at the moment. Physicist Christopher Clack told The Hill that the cost would easily be into the trillions.

[Mr. K]

would that be for “shovel ready” green projects?

[Mathews]

She’s just a mouthpiece. Other’s wrote the proposal...

[atc23]

Actually, I think a kraut eater lobbed a shell or two from a U boat at a beach in North Carolina once. Not sure.

[escapefromboston]

How about a tariff on goods from hellhole countries with zero environmental protection laws until they clean up their pollutuon (ex: China and India). Outlawing straws isn’t going to save the planet when 95% of the plastic in the ocean comes from 9 rivers (none of them are in the USA)
15 of the largest cargo ships create more pollution than all the worlds automobiles, maybe that’s a bigger issue?

[Georgia Girl 2]

Yeh sure. 😅

[PeterPrinciple]

To raise awareness for the measure, Markey announced Monday he had invited Varshini Prakash, the co-founder of the Sunrise Movement environmentalist group, to be his guest at President Trump’s State of the Union address Tuesday night.

But, the Green New Deal isn’t just about stopping climate change, it’s about taking action to reverse decades and decades of inequality that have led us to this moment in the first place. A key part of a Green New Deal is a job guarantee to give any American a job who’s ready to do their part taking on climate change. That would be transformational for our economy and give us the opportunity to nearly eliminate poverty in America. In addition, we need to make sure that we’re investing in low-income communities, communities of color, and all places that have been left behind by today’s Wall Street-driven economy.
