Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced Tuesday that a climate jobs proposal called the Civilian Climate Corps will be part of the $3.5 trillion infrastructure bill that Senate Democrats plan to pass.
The move reflects the high priority many Democratic activists place on climate change measures, even as businesses raise concerns about the financial cost of conversion to non-fossil fuels. The furthest-left lawmakers, such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democrat, have long pushed for the “Green New Deal,” which calls on the federal government to wean the United States from fossil fuels and curb planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions across the economy.
“Right now, we have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to confront the climate crisis and create millions of permanent good-paying union jobs,” Schumer, a New York Democrat, told reporters Tuesday. “It’s a great opportunity to combine those things. I have made addressing the climate crisis in a bold and strong way, the primary focus of our debate on infrastructure.”
Schumer praised the Sunrise Movement, a liberal 501(c)(4) and 501(c)(3) political organization that lobbied for the federal government to establish the CCC.

In FDR’s days they created permanent structures we enjoy today; he couldn’t stomach the thought of paying people not to work (and he feared Bolshevism as well, often stoked by desperate people).
What work is a “civilian climate corps” person going to do? This is just more fake jobs for the urban permanent underclass; blatant wealth transfers...
Recycling trash inspectors, tire inflation checkers, thermostat monitors........
I am serious. A female co-worker in the 1970s grew up in Nazi Germany. She said the programs for Hitler Youth were beneficial in that they promoted exercise and working out in the fresh air on projects.
She also said “One problem with America is that the leaders don’t make enough decisions for people. People don’t know it sometimes but they want to have someone in the government tell them what to do. Too much freedom causes stress and confusion.
And then locate the one who sent them. Wash, rinse and repeat.

“For all the nostalgia the CCC brings up among progressives, there’s the reality it was racially segregated, closed off to women and paid almost nothing. Besides a place to sleep, members received a dollar a day and meals for their work.”
“Administration officials and Democratic lawmakers all aim to pay corps members at least $15 an hour, plus offer health care and other benefits.”
“Wetlands would be restored to retain water better, and invasive species would be removed.”
Comrades, there’s a huge python over there. Grab it.
“Montana Conservation Corps crews are already doing some of the work envisioned in Biden’s climate proposal — reducing wildfire risk and building artificial dams to help retain water higher in watersheds.”
Why not just let poor people collect “free” firewood to keep their children warm instead?
Flooding out biodiversity is a bad idea.
This is insane!

No one can find enough people who are willing to work!
JoeBama obviously just wants to create another stupid government entity!
