Ocasio-Cortez: $10 trillion needed for effective climate plan (only 11.58 years left)
The Hill ^ | 6/05/19 | NIV ELIS

Posted on 06/08/2019 6:37:09 AM PDT by Libloather

Freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said Wednesday that any plan to sufficiently address the climate crisis will need to cost at least $10 trillion.

“I think we really need to get to $10 trillion to have a shot,” the progressive firebrand said in response to a question from The Hill in the Capitol.

“I know it’s a ton," she added. "I don’t think anyone wants to spend that amount of money, it’s not a fun number to say, I’m not excited to say we need to spend $10 trillion on climate, but ... it’s just the fact of the scenario.”

**SNIP**

“I think the entire field of climate plans still needs to be pushed,” she said. “I think it just needs to be pushed in terms of the scientific scale, that is scientifically supported in what we need to solve this problem.”

“It’s not popular, it’s not politically popular. People are going to call it unrealistic, and I just don’t think people understand how bad the problem is,” she said.

Yep, because the socialist bartender is just that much smarter than the rest of us.

Keep in mind that AOC, a Boston University econ major, also said:

The Federal deficit is not a problem. Just print more money.

Evidently she missed the history class on the post-WWI hyperinflation in Germany where it was cheaper to burn Deutschmarks than wood. I swear, her neurons simply aren't working...

"it’s just the fact of the scenario.”

She keeps using that word, 'fact'. I'm not sure that word means what she thinks it means....

330 million Americans, 21% self identify as liberal.

$10 trillion divided by 69 million = how much each liberal needs to donate to solve the imaginary “problem”.

12 trillion to set up a global state run by bureaucrats who are answerable to no one but their Inner Party masters.

I’ll see your $10 trillion and raise you a gazillion.

Lady, it’s better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Just throw in some pyramids and the Keynesians will be happy.

A-O-C made her “12 years till end of Earth” statement on January 19, 2019.

12 years from that day will be January 19, 2031.

Total number of days between those two dates: 4383.

Today is June 8, 2019.

Total number of days left from today until January 19, 2031: 4243, so it’s been 140 days since A-O-C prediction day.

Total number of years left: 11 years, 7 months 11 days (not including January 19, 2031).

Total number of days in a year: 365.24 (don’t forget leap years).

4248/365.24 = 11.63

Do I have the wrong official date she on which she made her dumb prediction?

"...pushed in terms of the scientific scale..."

She doesn't even know the meaning of the word scientific.

Oops, I misread my own typing. It’s 4243/365.24 = 11.62 years left, but still 0.04 years more than 11.58 years.

Hey, how else are we going to use someone else’s money to build our fiefdoms, get those mansions, limos, expensive dinners, and trips around the world? Common. It’s the only way.
