If they would just stick with green solutions to energy, waste, manufacturing, etc that might have some credibility. People like solutions. Unfortunately “the green new deal” is loaded up with every lefty wish-list item ever. Its kind of like the most heinous earmark bill that has ever been, and probably that is so for much the same reason, to gain the support of interest groups. Some of the stuff looks promising, but it is so full of things that look like critical errors of the type that will bring a system to a screeching halt that it is just like, no, I don’t want to destroy my homeland and everything I am working toward.
It’s just like the EU. A few good ideas mixed with a ton of over-reach and bad ideas.
Saying this is a “Green Martial Plan” sounds like the Lefties plan to bomb and destroy all of our institutions and infrastructure and then rebuild us. The problem is that they have effed up our institutions by trying to run them according to the principles that they plan to implement, which caused the destruction to begin with. They aren’t going to “rebuild” us using their money and know-how, as was done in the original Martial Plan. This is nothing more than “we want to run everything even though much of what we want to do is based on our theories that are more than a little precious and disconnected from how people actually behave.”
Marshall, dude, Marshall Plan. This alone turns your in to a gibbering knumbskull.
