Democrats are lining up to support Alexandria Ocasio-Cortezs Green New Deal.
The proposal could be the largest expansion of government since the Great Society or New Deal.
Ocasio-Cortezs 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.

This thread is a little more common sense where the posters realize Trump has veto power in addition to the Senate belonging to the GOP.
The thread you linked to was in full panic mode as many acted as though it was a done deal.
Nonetheless, my point is this article is panic material titled to inspire fear as though this is actually possible before the next election, assuming Trump loses.
Dang, I musta forgot that part.
This would suck $$$$ from everyone like we have never seen.
They are delusional if they think people want this.
We control the Senate and WH. Nothing is going to get passed.
Why don’t the Dems just change their name to ‘the New Green Party’ and be done with it?
DOA in the Senate... if not, VETO!
Your gas and electric bills will double or triple thanks to the Communist Party.
The Dem controlled House can go play with itself. The Senate will not go along with their game plan. Hardly anything will even reach Trump’s desk.
They can use the keyword porkulas or maybe porkulus
That’s what was used here before the Tea Party was started
Taxed Enough Already
Same thing
Dems probably think they can negotiate a complete takeover of the entire budget in exchange for $3B for the wall.....which they’ll have some liberal judge rule “unconstitutional”......

This is a wonderful idea! The only reason we dont all have unicorns in the back yard is because congress hasnt come forward with the right plan! This one should really work!
Why dont the Dems just change their name to the New Green Party and be done with it?
First the liberal president (Obama) comes in with great ideas to spend money on great causes (global warming). He spends the trillions on pork barrel projects to enrich his followers.
Then the conservative president (Trump)follows with sensible moves to recover and put the floundering economy on track
Next comes the liberals with ideas on how to squander the new found roaring economy. The wealth ends up in the pockets of unions and liberal slush funds.
This idiot is going to force her Neo-Marxist agenda on us and all we’re gonna get is a condescending lecture about how it will make America a better place.
Well, I guess they never said who it would be better for.
The New Communist Green Party.
This could not have happened in times past. This commie creep has been going on, vividly, since the 60’s. Before that, there were factions in the government that would have called it treason and stopped it... those factions dried up... the younguns in college were indoctrinated by the beliefs of those like alinsky.. those who took hold of it, were radicals and that kind don’t stop after they get it in their sysytem.. they demand it spread and it become the law of the land.
The creep is no longer a creep.. it’s a full blown coup.. happening now.. We are not preventing a war.. we are IN a war. Congress was not always divided like they are today. I disliked obama to the utmost.. but I did not know a person or a congressperson, could say the things about him that I am hearing today about Trump... openly and on the air. obama would have turned the IRs on us in a minute.. congress would have been afraid to go after him like they do Trump. The differece in character is: the left have no morals and no manners... their hate is out there on display and they are not afraid of the gop or Trump. They do believe they are protected from reprisal, by the fact they will do anyting and stop at nothing to get their way! And dare the gop to stop them.
Trump should turn loose on them, whatever is at his disposal.. and tell them this is what their half black king would do in the same corner. obama ruled with the color of his skin, his wrath and the power at hand that he considered his to use. No one on that side complained.
This coup is going to go into full swing come January. The dumb new girl... they see her enthusiasm is going over well by the media... so they are going to pursue her ideas, which are socialistis, communism.. of which the past generation has fought with blood and passion.. to keep us free. Then there comes the stupidity bunch.. get elected.. and plan to give this country a hit we cannot afford.
There has never been a left liberal socialist who accomplished good with their ideas and ways. Everything they do, turns to ashes. They do not count the cost, nor do they examine the ends... they plow their ideas into the country and devastate it.
If you saw “the Lion King”, it is an example of good vs evil... evil does not bring success.. it brings the worst there is out there... it may look good at first.. it may sound good... but is will end in devastation!
The dems are going to try to do this to our country... and the gop will fold as usual... they have no grit.. and if Graham will hang in there.. if the few will stand strong.. they can bring justice and stop this madness..
God help the USA.. we need it!
