The Green New Deal that Democrats proposed Thursday looks to create a more environmentally sound country with economic benefits for everyone — even those who don't want to work.
An overview circulated by proponents states the plan seeks a "massive transformation of our society" that could rid the country of fossil fuels and "create millions of family supporting-wage [sic] union jobs."
But for those not interested in working, there's something in the plan as well.
The overview notes that the Green New Deal aims to provide "economic security for all who are unable or unwilling to work."
While the resolution patterns itself after President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal, which was aimed at rescuing the country from the Great Depression, the FDR plan did not include a proviso for those willingly idle. The Green New Deal seeks to shift the U.S. to all renewable energy in 10 years.
The actual resolution that outlines the Green New Deal does not include the "unwilling to work" part, but the overview document, released by New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's office, does include the "unwilling" language. The overview entails the "nuts and bolts" of the plan. Ocasio-Cortez identifies as a democratic socialist.
CNBC has reached out to Ocasio-Cortez's office for comment.
Ain't Socialism grand!
Links at the source.
Little miss CRAZY EYES, who has NO working brain cells at all, needs to go live in Venezuela!
“The Green New Deal that Democrats proposed Thursday looks to create a more environmentally sound country with economic benefits for everyone...”
CNBC writes this like they believe it.
...for two weeks...then you watch a film on Venezuela on how to starve and wipe your azz with beer cans...
Thanks for posting this.
I’ve got several decorative lights over the patio that don’t work. I call them democrats.
AOC is but a dupe, a pliable tool being wielded by unseen evil hands.

What has happened to our country when people like Hank Johnson, Sheila Jackson Lee, Maxine Waters and Ajax Occasional Kotex can get elected to our governing body?????
Commissar Cortez - The Bug-eyed Bolshie.
Is Occasional Cortex retarded? Seriously!!! She’s bragging about “economic security for those who are unwilling to work”?
Wow. Just wow.
She already removed it from her web site LOL LOL
The indignity of needless one sided dependency.
And this is from proponents, not a think tank?
Unable... yes yes yes that is understood to be quite different. But even there, this kind of support ought to be, as much as is possible, a church mission. “The poor you will always have with you.” And those disabled in manner A could still be able to do some dignified work in manner B.
Who is supposed to pay for all of this? Not me. Can you hear the sound of money leaving the country or being turned into gold and silver.
This POS is bat shit crazy.
5000 years ago Moses said, “Pack up you camel, pick up your shovel, mount your ass, and I will lead you to the promised land.”
5000 years later, F. D. Roosevelt said, “ Lay down your shovel, sit on your ass and light up a camel, this is the promised land.”
Today, AOC will tax your shovel, sell your camel, kick your ass, and tell you that the promised land is in Venezuela.
Kick the bums out.
Time for tar and feathering.
It’s coming folks.
Build those guillotines.
Liberal female congresscritters and journalists first.
Lib arts academics next.
Breitbart posted the same story but I wanted a "mainstream" source on this.
Too many on the right are joking about trains to London and not reading the cash transfer that is right out there in clear black and white.
This woman has ceased being amusing.
That’s it! I’m becoming a Democrat!
If you need me call me on my Obamaphone. I’ll be down at the supermarket buying lobster with my EBT. If I eat too much and get sick I’ll use my Medicare for All card at the ER.
Then I will bang on the drum all day!
reads like a bad college term paper.
