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”

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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

[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!!!!

[Jmouse007]

She’s a dim witted, rabid COMMUNIST NUT!

[lurk]

Those countering the green new deal argue that it would harm the economy.
You don’t understand; Collectivists don’t care if they create a famine that kills half the country. They don’t care if they have to shoot or gas half the country. They don’t care what is destroyed. They just want power, even if only a few survive.

AOC needs to visit the Great Plains of this country where people live in smaller cities and towns separated by tens of miles and where temperatures frequently plummet to double digits below zero. It would be impossible to provide electric heating no matter how energy efficient the buildings solely using solar or wind energy. Electric cars would be next to useless at these temperatures. Perhaps AOC envisions her fascist government forceably relocating the population of these areas. While this woman’s proposals are blatant idiocy it is frightening to know there are thousands who believe her crap
