The Six Most Bizarre Proposals from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Green New Deal

PJ Media ^ | 7 Feb 2019 | John Hawkins

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez "is the leader — everybody knows it, everybody feels it. She's the leader of this mass movement." — Michael Moore

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is loud, perpetually outraged, and not particularly bright. In fact, saying she’s not particularly bright is kind of like saying Antarctica is not particularly hot. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez IS what the mainstream media THOUGHT Sarah Palin was when she first came on the scene except she’s liberal, dumb, and considerably less accomplished.

Her first huge (albeit non-binding) policy initiative and the FAQ that goes along with the #Greennewdeal seems like the sort of drek a dimwitted high school student would have cobbled together after listening to a couple of Noam Chomsky videos. It is truly radical, wildly impractical, and completely oblivious to the enormous problems it would cause. There’s also nothing of significance in there about how much all of this will cost, how to pay for any of it, or what the impact will be on the economy once you get beyond this unintentionally hilarious line in the FAQ:

The Federal Reserve can extend credit to power these projects and investments and new public banks can be created to extend credit. There is also space for the government to take an equity stake in projects to get a return on investment. At the end of the day, this is an investment in our economy that should grow our wealth as a nation, so the question isn’t how will we pay for it, but what will we do with our new shared prosperity.

1. It calls for getting rid of airplanes
2. It calls for getting rid of cows
3. It calls for upgrading EVERY BUILDING IN THE UNITED STATES “to achieve maximum energy efficiency, water efficiency, safety, affordability, comfort, and durability, including through electrification”
4. It calls for the United States to be free of carbon emissions in ten years without the use of nuclear power
5. We should get rid of gas-powered cars in a decade
6. It promises “economic security” for those “unwilling to work”

As in the previous post on this————Uh, 1 through 100.

[sjmjax]

I propose that this "Green New Deal" be henceforth refereed to as the "Death to America Bill".

A Democrat plan to utterly, completely, and irreversibly destroy the country once know as the United States of America.

[monkeyshine]

Totally oblivious to the fact that this is the kind of stuff that crushes itself. There will be widespread noncompliance, tons of corruption, and a massive enlargement of government ‘inspectors’ and the like. I know it isn’t going anywhere, but the proposal itself lacks any sense of self-awareness or as the article says understanding the equal and opposite reactions that will occur if such actions were taken.

I would like to know if she has a car, flies, etc.

[katana]

If her understanding of Physics is anything like her grounding in Economics she’ll next propose a Manhattan Project to develop a Perpetual Motion machine.

[butlerweave]

Mao Zedong had great ideas and he pulled them off and millions died

[T Ruth]

I would like to know if she has a car, flies, etc.

She has flies.

[GreyFriar]

Since she says she is Puerto Rican and wants all airplanes eliminated, I demand that she take a boat, one that is NOT powered by oil, or swim to Puerto Rico, the next time she goes there.

[Scrambler Bob]

I would like to know if she has a car, flies, etc.
= = =

Don’t know about the car, but I’ll bet she has flies.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Now, if we could only separate and re-cycle all the urine males expel every day, we could eliminate hundreds of millions of gallons of sewage water to be treated each day, save even more millions of gallons of new fresh water every day, and even more millions pounds of CO2 to process all the excess water produced, transported, and re-processed every day!

[BenLurkin]

The proposal in the excerpt sounds like government ownership in civilian industry. Sounds familiar.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez "is the leader — everybody knows it, everybody feels it. She's the leader of this mass movement." — Michael Moore

Watch your back fat Michael Moore. Stalin eventually had to eliminate Trotsky.

[Kozak]

Whats sad and frightening is this moron probably will be in the congress for decades.

[hsmomx3]

My bad....didn’t word that properly.

[hsmomx3]

LOL—so sorry. I didn’t word that properly. Meant to ask if she flies on a plane.

[Nateman]

This is more Soviet than the Soviets! This goes into Mao or Cambodia killing fields kind of madness! She's a clown but a clown like John Wayne Gacy or Penny-wise.

[Daniel Ramsey]

I would love to pull a prank on her.
Drug her, take her to a village some place remote thats an engineered set with actors living in the 12th century, she will have nothing at all on her from the future.
And nobody will believe her spin she is from 2019.

They won’t let her run off either, she will live in this village no less than 90 days, forced to work in some manner to provide food and shelter.

Lets see how that works out.

The “Green New Deal” is NOT “unicorns and rainbows”!!!! (Sorry, Mr. President!)

It is Gulags and Mass Executions!!!!
