Democratic frontrunner Joe Biden said Wednesday that a version of the Green New Deal could come "in the next round" of coronavirus relief.
"We're going to have an opportunity, I believe, in the next round here to use my green economy, my green deal, to be able to generate both economic growth consistent with the kind of infusion of monies we need into the system to keep it going," Biden said during a livestream.
"One of the ways to make sure these jobs are available, that may get lost or hurt in the meantime, is to provide the kind of jobs that are prevailing wages where people are making $45, $50 an hour plus benefits, by building new infrastructure," Biden continued. "We're going to need new infrastructure going down the road here."
Biden also advocated for $10,000 in student loan debt forgiveness "across the board" to help combat the coronavirus crisis.
The Biden campaign's website describes the Green New Deal as a "crucial framework" for dealing with climate change.
The former vice president's climate plan would cost $1.7 trillion over the next decade. He has dismissed the possibility of eliminating all carbon emissions by 2030, one of the primary proposals of the original Green New Deal proposed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) and Sen. Ed Markey (D., Mass.).
The Senate and the White House agreed to a massive $2 trillion stimulus package on Wednesday morning, despite Democratic resistance to Senate Republicans' initial version of the bill.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) adjourned the House of Representatives in less than two minutes on Wednesday, meaning that a vote on the stimulus package will likely not occur later in the day.
The guy wants to use the pandemic to send us back to the Stone Age.
Keep it up, Joe!
Sickening POS......
Yeahhhhh
Hold the country hostage, see what happens.
enough is enough - no more stimulus!!
“We’re going to have an egg roll, I believe, in the next plan here to use the green economy, my green meal, to be able to generate both ponder growth consistent with the kind of infusion of corn we need into the garden to keep it going,” Biden said during a livestream.
Are the paid professionals caring for Biden endorsing this political suicide or are these statements made by a rambling old dementia case?
That piece of walking stale bread is toast.
Not to say that his replacement will be equally stupid and willing to say anything to get into office, though.
thanks Joe but we don’t need any new deal. I live in the most infected part of the country, New York City. I was able to buy as much meat and alnd goods and gas as I needed today. God bless America
A $2 trillion stimulus bill is a New Green Deal! That’s a helluva lot of green added to the federal deficit!
The ultimate goal is the Cloward–Piven strategy of economically destroy the US (i.e.: the destruction of Capitalism) so as to make it easie for the sheeple to swallow and accept Socialism/Communism/Leninism economics, etc.
Remember, “fundamentally change”.....gg. /s
Right now, I’d say the Dems/Deep State are seeing a 2-1 pro vs. con:
Con: Trump’s approval is rising through the crisis.
Pro: Getting more God-awful spending and stuff pushed through, and
Pro: More excuses to muck with the November election.
So far the Pros seems to be outweighing the Cons.
They think it will be easy to Totally Control people now
Whoever this sick old man’s handlers are should be charged with elder abuse.
The Deep State always wins.
Try to focus, Joe. Ignore the squirrel.
If they try it, Americans need to get together and run all of those thieving bastards out of the District of Corruption.
Is this guy even alive come election day in November?
Be a good boy SLOW Joe and go clean up your room now.
Well, he is an elected a Democrat...
