Green New Deal

[Flash]

Isn't it pathetic when the Onion isn't satire anymore?

The Green New Deal is SUCH an embarrassment & AOC bungled the release SO badly that her own staff took the bill down off the internet....

• Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York bungled the release of the “Green New Deal.”

• Her office was forced to take down a summary of the bill because it contained a series of gaffes.

• Those included anti-nuclear power language, a reference to “farting cows” and welfare for “unwilling” workers.

"Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez kicked off Thursday unveiling her highly-anticipated “Green New Deal” resolution to cheers from Democrats and environmentalists, but by the day’s end, her staff was forced to take a gaffe-riddled summary of the bill offline."

Figures. Sandy Ocasio-Cortez's Green New Deal Calls for End to Air Travel -- Build Trains Over the Oceans -Duh.
Democrat darling Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez released information on the Democrat Party’s Green New Deal.
The radical Democrat-Socialist plan will destroy the country in months… if not days. Why do Democrats hate this country so much?
----------------------------------------------------

So not only will this dumb bitch try and con her idiots that we don't need babies and how we can kill them way after birth, now the moron wants to build a bridge over the ocean alrighty then . Don't plan on a win next voting round retread.

That is not what was said. That is not is in the plan.

This is stupid fucking Trumpettes who can't tread making up stupid shit.


Building high speed to rail to reduce the need to fly. It did not say build rail bridges over the oceans. It is looking like high speed rail instead of flying city to city in the continental US.

You're right. She didn't say trains over the ocean . . . only because it didn't occur to her that there are two states in this country which aren't connected to the rest of the nation by land, and pretty much HAVE to be accessed by plane, unless you have weeks to spend getting there by boat. All Occasional Cortex said was "build out highspeed rail at a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary." You're just pissed that other people - almost everyone, really - are smarter than Occasional Cortex and can extrapolate out her words to what they would actually require. The only way to "build out highspeed rail at a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary" is to build trains over the water that we currently traverse by plane.

Or, I guess, we could just abandon Hawai'i and Alaska entirely, and never travel to any country outside the Western Hemisphere.

When I first heard about the Green New Deal, yesterday on the EIB, I thought the libs were just trolling the Maha Rushdie and no one could be that stupid.

I was wrong, this is really goofy. Chuck and Nancy should really see that AOC disappears, but probably won't as they lost control of their party. The Crazies now control their asylum

If someone had suggested this years and years ago, that person would be called an innovator thinker and praised for their ambitious ideas (like space travel) ....but if AOC suggested it, lets mock and attack her....oh wait! they already have suggested this years ago...

The Case For Transatlantic Undersea Trains



Plan for vacuum transatlantic tube train travel between UK and the US unveiled | Daily Mail Online


China plans a 13,000 km rail line to America passing through an under-ocean tunnel


I so enjoy the way AOC makes republicans and establishment dems have hissy fits and look stupid in the process...

Hissy fits? We're mocking her....and you.

Do you have any idea what her train dream would cost? Any idea at all? Lol

Good gawd and she plans all her crap in a 10 year time frame....she's detached from reality

Do you have any idea what fighting the effects of global warming will cost?

Other countries have high speed rail.

Nearly all of those other countries are smaller than most of our states, moron.

 

[Cecilie1200]

Nothing in the article talks about building trains over the oceans.

So, the OP lied his ass off.

And all the Trumpflakes proudly repeated it.

Why? Because Trumpflakes are the most gutless sheep to every exist in the American political scene. Not one of them ever dares contradict what the rest of the cult is bleating.

Bu then, that's expected. Creatures with a spine auto-reject the Trump cult, leaving only oozing invertebrate creatures to populate it.

AOC Defenders jumping on another hand grenade

“Build out highspeed rail at a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary”.

How do you get to Hawaii? Barbados?

Here's another question. How does she plan to POWER all this high speed rail crap? Last time I checked, those trains are powered by electricity, and she's already said she wants to eliminate all the fuel sources that electric power plants use.

I'm interested to see how she plans to abolish "farting cows".

Teleportation? That's about as likely to happen as any of this stupid bint's BS

Beam me up, Scotty. There's no intelligent life on this planet. *sigh*

Simeticone is proven to reduce flatulence in people, maybe it will work with our Bovine Friends too.

It could work!!! We could use all the asylum seekers to build it in exchange for Citizenship. But first we would have to abort all the babies so the women get treated equally. It's going to be a really dangerous job that most Americans won't be willing to do. And they're really good at tunneling our Southern border looks like the "Bush wood Country Club" from Caddy Shack. I bet they could dig that F&%$#r in like 3 months.

LOL 800 miles of rail in Cali is projected to cost 100 billion. NY to Paris is 4 1/2 times that far and that would be one route.

Goddamn loons live in some alternate universe.

Not to mention the Atlantic Ocean is something like 12,000 feet deep.

Granted, PJ Media is a conservative media source.

But it still is an interesting article.

And if they are even remotely right, this program could be insanely expensive.

Ocasio-Cortez’s ‘Green New Deal’ Would Cost 8,000 Times as Much as Trump's Border Wall Request

Yes, there are always costs associated with programs, but what are the benefits? What is the dollar value of the benefits? How much of the costs will they offset.

Universal government funded health care eliminated most the administration costs of the current American system, which is currently spending 33 cents out of every dollar on administration. So much for the idea that private enterprise does everything better and cheaper than the government, but when you look at the cost savings in health care expenses, coupled with the economic effects of better, cheaper, healthcare for all: including savings from people going to doctors for treatment instead of the emergency room;, the cost savings of finding and treating illnesses when they first manifest, when the prognosis is better and the cost of treatment much lower than it is when illnesses progress to the point where postponing treatment is no longer an option; reductions in the number of bankruptcies relating to unpaid medical bills.

There are cost savings that are "hard costs", like the reduction in administration, and there are other costs which are more difficult to quantify. The rise of GDP attributable to a healthy, workforce who gets timely treatment of illness and disease.

Every time Americans post about universal medical coverage, it's obvious that they know next to nothing about how it works, and those things they do know are completely WRONG, and entirely based on the lies of the Medical Industrial Complex who have a vested interest in NOT moving to single payer.

She implies a train to Hawaii.

Be fair. She may actually have just implied that she doesn't know Hawai'i is an island.

On the contrary, we know exactly how it works, hence the reason we still don't have it.

Stop feeding those cows a vegetarian diet and they'll stop farting so much. Yeah, that's gonna do it.

 

[Claudette]

She needs to go back to bartending.

No! She's a walking talking billboard for Trump 2020. The more she outs the Prog Agenda of turning the U.S. into a Socialist-Slave State the better our chances of the Dems being defeated.

That she is. What a dingbat. I just can't believe voters elected that dipshit to Congress. What the hell were they thinking??

I wonder if she even realizes that if all that green crap she's pushing ever passes it will bankrupt the country??

Thank God the Reps have the Senate and none of that crap will ever pass.

What a moron.

 

[TNHarley]

I hope it passes so i can quit my job!
Here is to "progress!"

Add another cost to ranchers. Brilliant idea! You must be a leftist.
