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.”

"As the leftists continue to get stoned"
Good one!
I wonder how much we need to solve the AOC problem? She and her fellow travelers need to be sent back in time to the age of Stalin where she would be happier.
Take a look at this:
https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/isobaric/250hPa/orthographic=-92.20,40.99,422
then click on “Earth” and select CHEM or PARTICULATES or...whatever. Someone ask AOC how, even if we spend her $10 trillion dollars, that fixes the problem. Her plan amounts to putting a sign in a public swimming pool that says: No Peeing Zone.
Will it be Nonprofit ? LOL
Another 7th grader screed.
the progressive firebrand said
= = = = = = = = = = = = = =
‘They’ took GAY away from us and changed its meaning
‘They’ took OUR blue status and changed US to red because we had been saying Red implied Communist
‘They’ peeandmoan about pollution yet jet around ALONE in private jets.
Looks like ‘they’ have taken the term ‘progressive firebrand’ and redefined it as
COMPLETE, UTTER, IDIOT.
AOC definitely reminds me of the old chestnut...
Two weeks ago I couldn’t spell civic engineer, NOW I ARE ONE.
That’s about 28 thousand dollars per person in the USA. Not per worker. Per person. Where will it come from, honey? And what about the rest of the world? Do you expect the USA to carry the load for them too? (yes, you do.)
NEVER FORGET
WHEN you are told ‘my vote doesn’t count’ and one doesn’t go to the polls because ‘so and so’ has a lock,
REMEMBER....this AOC idiot is sitting where she is sitting as a result of RECEIVING 16,000 votes TOTAL...
I still think she is a PDJT ‘plant’ as even the LIBs wouldn’t buy into her nonsense in toto.
I bet she cannot balance her checking account.
She does know how to launder a million dollars in campaign money into a LLC though.
She’s making ditzes look a lot smarter today.
“...we really need to get to $10 trillion to have a shot,”
“...I know it’s a ton”
“...it’s not a fun number to say”
“...I’m not excited to say we need to spend $10 trillion on climate”
“...it’s just the fact of the scenario.”
“...the entire field of climate plans still needs to be pushed”
“...pushed in terms of the scientific scale”
“...scientifically supported in what we need to solve this problem”
Governance by “tons” and “fun numbers” and “scientific scale” and “excited to say” things. Whatever happened to serious people running a serious government? It seems to have died with the “greatest generation.”
Why 10 trillion and not m8 trillion or 12 trillion? You can not just through a number out and expect people to say oh alright here it is! Get specific! 1 Billion for what? 30.5 million for what 280 thousand for what and so on and so on.
You gotta work for it!
Occasional Cortex says........YAWN
I wonder how much of this 10 million she is hoping to get her meat hooks on.
And she’s not kidding, ya’ know? It’s coming!!!! I calculate it to be January 2, 2031 . . . Whore-ors . . . or is it Horrors?
By my calculation it is 11.5694361 years away
The “C” is silent . . . s”c”ientific. Didn’t you go to shool?
Did you carry your "1" or round it off?
. . . I'll be on the other side of the dirt (if you know what I mean), so you can deal with it.
She is NOT an Econ major, stop saying she is. She embellished her International Relations degree because she followed an economics track, which is to say she took a few more classes in economics.
