Joe Biden declares war on American jobs with far-left climate plan
NY Post ^ | 01/27/2021

Posted on 01/27/2021 7:04:30 PM PST by BenLurkin

Further dashing hopes that he’d govern as any kind of moderate, President Biden on Wednesday announced plans for what amounts to the Green New Deal by another name, at a cost of roughly $2 trillion and millions of jobs.

... Biden’s Day One canceling of the Keystone XL pipeline put thousands out of work immediately; longer-term, it aborted some 11,000 jobs, mostly for union workers.

Also in his first day, the new prez ordered a 60-day suspension of new drilling permits for US lands and water, supposedly to allow for review of the impact. But on Wednesday he made much of that ban permanent, so plainly the science doesn’t really matter.

... In the absence of Keystone, Canada will still export its oil — transporting it by less-environmentally friendly rail...

Economics is out the window, too. The American Petroleum Institute estimates the drilling ban will cost the US economy $700 billion and kill nearly a million jobs by the end of next year.

The special envoy on climate issues, John Kerry, sniffs at the costs of “what needs to be done” — even as he admits that taking the US to zero carbon emissions tomorrow (rather than by 2050 as the president vows) wouldn’t remotely stop climate change.

Not that climate change is the Armageddon threat that Biden & Co. pretend: If current trends continue, the harm from global warming etc. would only slice a fraction off global economic growth through century’s end.

Paris’ fine print requires exponentially rising energy costs and lunatic subsidies; economists estimate it will cost the US millions of jobs over the next decade.

Yet because it demands little of China etc., the deal will only decrease average global temperatures by 0.09 degrees Fahrenheit by 2100. Lots of Western pain; trivial world gain.

We’re trusting our jobs in the hands of a guy who doesn’t know how many letters are in the word “jobs.”

I’d like to see DJT start a series of planks for his potential run for 2024, starting with an increase in employment (esp. Keystone workers).

Americans better WISE UP/

Those “employers” who have connections in China would be the employer who might follow that violation of civil rights.
Key swamp demons were making fortunes when they allowed US companies in a number of industries including pharma, computer; and electrical as well metal fabrication components even bicycles relocate their factories in China . To the point where China was our sole supplier.
The money the CCP has now comes from US .If we played our Chinese checkers right and the courts allowed evidence of lection fraud to be presented and Trump made it. We could of really turn things around for the better not only here but in China as well.
Check out this recent posting in Free Republic.com which the MSM and social venues will spike; http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3890312/posts. will be stopped by Biden and hailed by Walmart http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3920123/posts

Instead this happened . And its breaking an EO edict just to say it
A BIDEN WIN IS AN AWARD TO CHINA FOR INVADING US USING COVID 19, Here’s the reason why the CCP did it....

Every time an American looked at an item for where it was made in it came from China. Now China’s reliance making everything was being threatened by a change in leadership in America which was a major consumer of those products. When Americans hailed their leaders decision to make many of them in their country US. Their politburo worried.

Worse yet opponents to the Chinese regime in power had its citizens protesting its policies , as in Hong Kong, since that change in American leadership wave the American flag and present Trump’s name when doing so. All of which presented those in power the need to destroy that leader Donald Trump.

Would a runaway plague created by a nation which could threaten populations of an enemy cause them to react by demanding extreme restriction of movement by its population to prevent its spread ? Thus wind up fragmenting its economy and create defeat for that leader’s upcoming election.When they released it that was the CCP intention but it got away from them and went world wide

Freedom of speech is also being destroyed. Killing jobs and declaring a climate crisis, are also part of the democrat agenda. Controlling all elections systems is also in the democrat agenda, with the intention of NEVER losing power again. But, that’s just the beginning of what democrats have in store.

Far worse things are coming.......

All part of the Plan. (Biden in collusion with Putin to wipe out the US economy and increase Russian oil profits.)

Get ready for $10 gasoline, natural gas prices so high you won’t be able to heat your house above 60F in the winter, and sky-high electricity prices with lots of blackouts.

I’d like to see him hold monthly rallies with 50,000 attending each one tearing the Biden administration to shreds on every front. Every month for four years. Get people riled up! Kind of like those BLM a$$holes who shout at you at the restaurant, but for serious, adult issues that affect everybody.

Jobs Biden will likely be dead due to his medical conditions or displaced within 6 months by his handlers.

The fight against socialist communist began in earnest on 20 Jan 2021.
