Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y, the self-described democratic socialist who has become a media sensation, is pushing for enactment of a radical plan called the Green New Deal that would ban the use of all fossil fuels from U.S. electricity generation, agriculture and manufacturing by 2030.
The Green New Deal would dramatically reshape the U.S. economy and add tens of trillions of dollars to the national debt.
The radical plan would force families to pay more to heat, cool and provide electricity to their homes. It would raise the same costs for businesses, farmers, government and organizations, driving up their operating costs – and raising the prices for just about all the good and services Americans buy.
Under the Green New Deal, Americans would have to power their homes with renewable energy, such as wind and solar power. Every home and business in the United States would have to be “upgraded” for “state-of-the-art energy efficiency, comfort and safety.” And a slew of massive government social programs and mandates would be created.
Yet despite all these negatives, the Green New Deal has garnered significant attention and support from some members of the media, Congress, and even prominent senators considering 2020 presidential runs: Cory Booker, D-N.J.; Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.; and Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass.

How about her ties to her sugar daddy, Soros??
Dramatically reshape is one way to put it. Shut down is another.
In a real world, this brainless little twit would be laughed off the stage
The biggest, phoniest pie-in-the-sky proposal ever floated by Congress. It would dwarf the War on Poverty or Great Society in cost within a year. That anyone takes this the least bit seriously is frightening.

Do away with fossil fuel and we’d all be walking around naked with no jobs, houses, medicine, and just about any other manufactured products. No farms either or cattle ranching. But a dimwit like her will say to go shop at Safeway for your food.
It would rival the Soviet Union’s forced collectivization of agriculture or Mao’s Great Leap Forward in economic impact.
In the real world, the brainless little shit couldn't get hired for anything outside the foodservice industry, if that.
Test it for a year in California and New York first ,LOL
The “Green New Deal” would be the end of America as we know it, plain and simple. The Democrats will put it in place if they ever have the opportunity. They need to be fought accordingly.
Continuing to give tjis attention seeker attention boosts her not us.
Silence is the key to killing her ideas
I’ll bet she was a pole dancer at one time...
The “Green New Deal” is a very good name for it. The “Green” part would throw this country into a massive depression. The government would then feel compelled to do something about it and there would likely be government supplied jobs and soup lines, etc. The politicians would need a “new deal” mindset to deal with half the country out of work.
It would jump-start a move toward communism. Many of the masses indoctrinated in our public schools would not know that socialism caused the pain in the first place and would demand more government to fix the problem. When you are starving idealogy takes a back-seat and you want it fixed. Plus the MSM will reinforce the leftist propaganda.
Trump is the calm before the storm. When the dems / communists get three branches of the government it’s checkmate and they implement this nonsense.
She’s an idiot, but a DANGEROUS idiot which makes her 10x more scary..not only that she is an utter buffoon, but MILLIONS of people think just like her
Green = Red
Evey body Dance or else
Not to worry about all the higher costs. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y, will have the taxpayers pay for everything for her.
