Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., hasn’t officially started her first term in office, but she’s already pushing a massive, far-left proposal that would fundamentally transform much of the economy and push the country closer than ever to socialism.
For several weeks, you might have heard Ocasio-Cortez reference the creation of a “Green New Deal,” but until recently, few people knew what would be included in the plan. In a draft resolution to form a select committee in the House that would help develop legislation to put her plan in action, Ocasio-Cortez finally outlined numerous proposals that she says should be part of future Green New Deal legislation. Taken together, the many ideas included in Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal would be the most radical policy shift in modern U.S. history, dramatically increasing the size and power of government and running up the national debt by trillions of dollars.
According to Ocasio-Cortez, the Green New Deal, which has been endorsed by Sens. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., Cory Booker, D-N.J., Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and at least 40 House Democrats, would eliminate nearly all fossil fuels from the electric grid and force everyone in the country to buy from power companies selling only renewable energy.

She must think that she is in Venezuela.
its a full blown take over of the country in the guise of a ‘green bill.”
Democrats openly offer us tyranny. Thank God for Trump, he was literally our last hope.
My wood racks are filled with renewable energy.
They have to pass it to find out what’s in it ?
Send her to Venezuela.
Give a Venezuelan a fish, and you feed him for a day.
Give a Venezuelan Alexandria Whatsherteeth, and the whole family can feed on her for a couple of weeks.
And make jewelry out of her teeth.
Sounds like Stalin’s collective farming plan or Mao’s great leap forward where millions died of famine.
Not mentioned is the AOcrazy’s “transition teams” who operate on the local level to “facilitate” change. Dissenters will be sent to gulags and processed into soylent green.
This isn’t big government expansion. Can we called them communists yet?
Looks like I'll be ramping up the solar electric next, and go all the way off grid.
“...Thank God for Trump, he was literally our last hope....”
The rifle in your hand is your “last hope”.
It’s FOR “that day”.
“My wood racks are filled with renewable energy.”
I’ve got some things filled with kinetic energy that might come in handy in certain scenarios.
“...Dissenters will be sent to gulags and processed into soylent green....”
That’s assuming, of course, that we’re not hunting those “transition teams” down.
Do NOT go gently...
LFOD, brother... you aren’t alone.
None of this stuff will go anywhere. Wet dreams of an economically ignorant fuzzy-headed Leftist.
She'll be extremely lucky if she can get the House to go along with these outrageous and ill-advised mandates, let alone the Senate or have Trump sign off on any of this garbage.
She's beating a dead unicorn.
Dear Hollywood and Rich Democrat Elite: I will be confiscating 70% of your earnings because it worked so well in Argentina and Puerto Rico. Love and Kisses, Evita Ocaso
I agree. But it's dangerous to have a member of Congress even proposing these things. She does have a position of power now... and she is not alone in her radical thinking.
You just described EVERY Democrat.
Holy moly. I went to the web page where this draft is posted.
Even my less than stellar intelligence recognizes a rambling treatise of an idiot mind. The chick is unhinged.
Are the other democraps piling in because they think this idiot is going to be the next Barky Oblowme?
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is there to “dance” for the publics attention/distraction....as with others on the low side of politics.
