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."

“WWII-level mobilization”

Now where/when have I heard that before (before AOC was even a name)?

“Green New Deal” is nothing but the same old recycled tripe from Democrats (now they prefer to be named Progressive/Socialist).

Hawaii was NOT a state of the union in 1941, it was a territory. However, California was bombed by the “Germans”.

Another aspect of this trick question. Alaska and Hawaii were not states in ww2.

You can end fossil fuel pollution a lot quicker and less expensively by just banning all fossil-fuel burning devices. No more cars, trucks, buses, diesel trains, coal-burning power plants...shut them all down! Of course, the economic system will collapse and people will starve to death, but I know this won't bother you because you haven't considered the consequences of your proposals after any such bills becomes law.

My guess is that your next plan is to end poverty, which is now defined as about $25K for a family of 4. No problem, just get all of the people who make $25K or less, line 'em up and shoot them. Problem solved, right AOC? You dumb a$$, how long will it take before the person making $25,001 starts bitching because he's the poorest person in the land?

Try something new, AOC...think.

She’s shifting the Overton window.
She’s making wild demands, expecting we’ll relent and settle for a small fraction - which is still huge.
She’s winding up & growing her base.
She’s initiating public discussion, leading to centrist acceptance of “reasonable measures”.

Other countries have been persuaded to such “green” ends. She’s being used as a front to do same here.

I agree - the left can’t control itself. The external influences are willing to push for her as she will hold their agenda. Everything she will be proposing will be the same as any far left globalist.

The founders never envision an electorate suffering from mass hysteria/psychosis.

I believe that is correct. A U-boat fired a shot or two in the Wilmington area, I think.

Need to demand these hardcore “Green” advocate MUST personally give up all fossil fuels, direct & by proxy. If they won’t, when such lifestyle is completely available, they’re frauds & hypocrites.

First ask her what years in which WWII was fought.

And, with whom we fought.

She'd reply, "That's a trick question!"

I’m in love with those eyes. Does our Congressional Health insurance cover that operation? If so, where do I sign up?

Some pol should remind AOC that the war years were years of hardship and deprivation for all those on the homefront.

Rationing of all goods were common and lasted well after the last bullet was fired.

They should ask her what sacrifices will she force the american people for her ponzi scheme and how is it any different from Obama’s “Green Deal”

Unless she spectacularly falls on her horse teeth, she will be elected president one day. I think half the country is that stupid or just apathetic. She is Obama with lady parts.
