Democrats are lining up to support Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s “Green New Deal.”
The proposal could be the largest expansion of government since the Great Society or New Deal.
Ocasio-Cortez’s plan could cost tens of trillions of dollars.
Democrats are increasingly lining up to support a “Green New Deal,” which, while vague on details, could end up being the largest expansion of government in decades.
As it stands, the “Green New Deal” is more aspirational than actual policy. Indeed, it takes its name from the New Deal of the 1930s, and its main backer, incoming Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, compared it to the Great Society of the 1960s.
More than 40 Democratic lawmakers support the “Green New Deal” as part of a broad plan to fight global warming and bring about what they see as “economic, social and racial justice.” A poll found most Americans supported the deal, but knew little about it.

With a heavily Republican Senate and President Trump in the White House, their efforts are futile.
“With a heavily Republican Senate and President Trump in the White House, their efforts are futile.”
Yes, and we will see just how “loyal” the GOPe is in the Senate in the next two years. TG, Trump has a veto. I don’t trust most of the GOPe Senators.
Uh, VETO!
Expansion of government is the exact opposite of what America needs.
Cloward-Piven
I seem to remember that’s
part of the plan.
Hopefully Trump will veto their nonsense to increase the government.
Disband the House of Representatives . Outlaw the Democrat Party and hang all socialists
HaHaHa. Ain’t going nowhere.
You have good reason not to trust most of the GOP Senators.
They are Bush League Republicans.
Their goals are the same as Democrats.
The veto is our only hope.
I have no confidence in most GOP Senators.
They’re counting on Trump being gone in 3 months
Nah, Chitcongo and NYC liberals. Why go farther when the only people that really matter are right there? /sarc
Of course 'rats will support it - anything that expands government power and control. They don't need details "bigger government? I'm in!" that's today's leftist.
Big government spending on civilian employees, or no defense funding. That’s how they do it time after time. They know better than many moron constituents, that there are some existential threats just ahead. So they’re holding the near-future lives of millions of Americans hostage.
And pork. Don’t forget the pork. Those of you who are unfamiliar with that word in the context of members of Congress and their home states, look it up yourself...or not.
I actually hope they keep on pushing the LIEberal envelope!
They’ll overplay their hand and We the People will turn on them with a vengeance in 2020!
