The stealth 'Green New Deal'; Enacting this left-wing dream legislation in pieces through the tax code.

We are three months from the Presidential election, and the stakes for the future of America have never been higher.

The COVID-19 global pandemic knocked America's robust economy back on its heels. As states cautiously reopen, President Trump has been laser-focused on supporting small businesses and getting our nation to work. However, in Washington, D.C., with 51 million people out of work, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Democrats, and their connected cronies have abused SBA loans. They have snuck numerous provisions into emergency bills under the cover of COVID-19.

The most terrifying sign of Democrats' plans is their embracing the previously dismissed "Green New Deal," which was a radical environmental proposal from self-described socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Senator Ed Markey (D-MA). Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC), the third-ranking House Democrat, was too honest by admitting his party wants to use billions in COVD-19 rescue funds to "restructure things to fit our vision."

Democrats are showing their cards of enacting this left-wing dream legislation in pieces through the tax code. It is time to sound the alarm, and conservatives must carefully watch the latest developments.

Democrats are focused on tax bills because they only take a simple 51-majority vote in the Senate, utilizing "budget reconciliation" rules. First, this was tried with the so-called "Moving Forward Act" a $1.5 trillion spending bill full of radical environmentalist plans. Also, there were additional disturbing provisions in the highway reauthorization pork-barrel bill, including green-tax credits, which extends and expands credits for wealthy homeowners with solar panels, storage devices, energy-efficient windows, and geothermal converters until 2025.

Once presented as "temporary" tax incentives, it is clear Democrats never want these green handouts to affluent taxpayers and highly profitable renewable energy companies to end.

It's stealth because the media are too busy keeping an eye on anything the GOP tries, and then they broadcast it far and wide, while they try to hide things the Dems try to do.

We need a better news media...

“green handouts to affluent taxpayers and highly profitable renewable energy companies”

To his credit, Michael Moore did a good job of exposing this in his movie “Planet of the Humans”. It must hit pretty close to home because leftists tried to get it banned from Youtube. If it is still out there I would recommend watching it.

The Dems need a full checkout from the Eye Clinic, and a check out for Macular Degeneration.

They are losing their own ‘VISION’.
