Usually political parties are PI$$ED because their opponents WON'T let their bills come up for a vote...

BLUFF GETS CALLED


McConnell readies AOC's Green New Deal for Tuesday vote, forcing Dems to take sides


Say, who's up for voting for:
- Updating or rebuilding EVERY SINGLE BUILDING IN THE US?

- Eliminating the use of all fossil fuels in the US and relying on alternative energy sources that provide 5-7% of our current energy requirements?

- Eliminating use of the Internal Combustion Engine, effectively putting approximately 10 MILLION Americans (on the extremely short projection) out of work?

- Eliminating the need for air travel through the use of high-speed rail systems all across the country, replacing the economic tax-payer drain of Amtrak, despite California's failure / inability to create such a train system just from L.A. to San Francisco (and that was using one of those fossil-fuel-run engines / systems)?

- Who's up for voting for doing this using NON-EXISTENT technology?

- Who's up for doing all of this for the mere small amount of - AT LEAST - $100 TRILLION dollars (despite AOC admitting that even if we took every dime from every wealthy person in the US and seized every resource from every successful business in the US we would still NEVER EVEN GET CLOSE TO BEING ABLE TO PAY WHAT IT WOULD COST to actually do what her plan call for?

It's the Democratic party's 'GREEN NEW DEAL' - all the 2020 Democrat Presidential Candidates have signed up for it. The Democrats have all raved about it, bragged about how great it is....

...until Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell acted to help the Democrats out by bringing the Green New Deal to the floor of the Senate for a Vote, which is the goal of every politician / the Senate, to author legislation and have it come to the floor of Congress for a vote.

Democrats, however, are cursing, gnashing teeth, and acting as if the GOP just kicked their dog.

:wtf:


DON'T TELL ME ALL THAT SUPPORT AND PRAISE FOR AOC'S GREEN NEW DEAL WAS JUST FOR SHOW - POLITICAL THEATER?!

:p


Come on, Democrats - it's time for a vote......Who's up for MAKING AMERICA VENEZUELA? Time to put OUR money where YOUR mouth is!


:cool:




McConnell to put Green New Deal to vote, forcing Democrats to go on record


"Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will put the Green New Deal to a vote on Tuesday in a move that will force Democrats to take an official stand on the measure and thus pit the party’s moderates against its progressive wing.

“I could not be more glad that the American people will have the opportunity to learn precisely where each one of their senators stand on the “Green New Deal,” McConnell tweeted. “A radical, top-down, socialist makeover of the entire U.S. economy.”

The resolution, which amounts to an ambitious overhaul of the U.S. to combat climate change, undoubtedly will not pass in the GOP-controlled Senate. But Republicans say that the vote will allow them to better gauge Democrats’ commitment to its radical proposals.

U.S. Rep.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., has derided the planned vote as a political stunt and accused Republicans on Saturday of “wasting votes in Congress.”

“Stop wasting the American peoples’ time + learn to govern,” the freshman lawmaker tweeted. “Our jobs aren’t for campaigning, & that’s exactly what these bluff-votes are for.”


It seems AOC does not know the purpose of Congress, that legislation is written to be voted on, not for show ... and evidently AOC has NO CONFIDENCE in her own 'Green New Deal'.

:p
 
OBAMA SAYS, 'YOU CAN'T PAY FOR THAT!'



“...we [as Democrats] shouldn’t be afraid of big, bold ideas – but also need to think in the nitty-gritty about how those big, bold ideas will work and how you pay for them”


"While the former president did not call out any specific proposals by name, some reportedly took his advice as a note for those new lawmakers pushing "Medicare-for-all" and the Green New Deal—both liberal policies popularized by House freshmen, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.

The Green New Deal is a massive overhaul of the nation’s economy and energy use, with an estimated cost that could reach well into the tens of trillions of dollars. The resolution, which is nonbinding, is co-sponsored by nearly all major 2020 Democrats in Congress and was introduced in the House last month.

The rollout of the proposal caused headaches for Democrats, as it included FAQs from Ocasio-Cortez containing promises of economic security for those “unwilling to work” and talk of abolishing air travel in favor of high-speed rail. But Ocasio-Cortez has not yet explained a plan for how to fund the program."



But what does Obama know, and who is he to lecture Freshman Democrats?

"Recalling the ‘caging of kids’ at the U.S.-Mexico border and the ‘droning of countries around the world’ on Obama’s watch," Omar charged that Obama "operated within the same fundamentally broken framework as his Republican successor”


Obama warns Dem freshmen on cost of their proposals
 
Color me LMAO.

Good for McConnell. Hope the voters get a good look at the House bill.

If that POS were implemented it would bankrupt the country.

Go Dems.
