2020 presidential hopeful Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand claimed in an interview this week that, if done using market forces, there is “nothing socialist” about the Green New Deal -- a proposed vast government-led overhaul of the nation’s economy and energy use.
Gillibrand made the comments in an interview with New York Magazine, where she was asked about her support for the controversial plan that has shot into Democratic mainstream thought after spending years as a fringe, far-left idea.
“I love the framework of the Green New Deal, and the reason is this: I believe that global climate change is the greatest threat to humanity that exists in our generation, and it needs a bold and powerful set of solutions to actually attack it, and to solve it,” she said.
The non-binding resolution was introduced last month by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., for what Ocasio-Cortez called a “wartime-level, just economic mobilization plan to get to 100 percent renewable energy ASAP!”

There’s no need. It looks like a tremendous edifice of laws and regulations imposed by our betters in government, coupled with arbitrary and confiscatory enforcement. There’s no other way to attempt to impose a wrenching change on society and economy. It’s got to be top-down.
If it infringes on Individual Liberty and Individual Capitalism, then yes it is Socialism/Communism. I am against the Collective totally.
What “market forces” are going to pay the 93 trillion and support a couple of hundred million deadbeats for the foreseeable future?
And she KNOWS it's socialism. She's just trying to lie to tamp down the opposition. She thinks the Demonrat minions are all idiots. They're not all idiots.
When, precisely, did the Dems replace the late night show hosts as America’s leading comedians?
“SOCIALIST”: the Left’s phony word for “Government Control”!!!
Dumb As A Stump
///////////////////////
That stump is looking smarter every time it gets posted here.
Every train routed on the ocean waters by AOC and every budget figured out by Bernie to pay for trillions of dollars for “free” total healthcare for all. And “free” college for all.
It all makes the stump look smart by contrast.
Yeah, it’s not so much socialist as eco-genocide. Sort of new-age hippies who can’t wait to get drunk on power, blood and starvation.
I think I saw an ad on the side of my milk carton that was posted by Gillibrand. Seems she’s looking for a missing brain.
She’s not dumb.
Her constituents are, and she’s taking advantage of it.
She happens to be correct, it’s full on commie.
NUTS!
Yeah, and they say the Nazis weren’t socialists, either. They are either densely stupid or evil liars.
Memo To Kirsten Gillibrand:

“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, a creed of ignorance and a gospel of envy. It’s only inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery’’.- Winston Churchill.
If these Demos keep spouting this crapola trying to win the (I’m dumber than you contest), they’ll be acting dumber than the idiots that vote for them. I beginning to think they belive the person winning the nomination is in because they are going to steal the election anyway.
