PJM: Are you stupid enough to believe that the Green New Deal is about saving the world? If you think that, it’s clear you have a very naive view of the hard left.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez believes that the Green New Deal is actually about a massive transfer of wealth. She and Senator Bernie Sanders, who just happens to be running for president, are proposing spending $180 billion on “re-imagining” public housing.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Thursday unveiled the next step to their Green New Deal plan with a bill focused entirely on reimagining public housing.
The bill from the two progressive firebrands places a sharp focus on decarbonizing the nation’s public housing units.
The proposal calls for an investment of $180 billion over 10 years to sustainably retrofit and repair public housing with the goal of eliminating all carbon emissions. The housing units would meet the zero-emissions goal through the use of solar panels and renewable energy sources.
The lawmakers say the legislation would not only cut the carbon footprint of the country’s fleet of housing units but enrich the lives of their inhabitants.
Has anyone thought of asking public housing tenants what they think about having their lives “enriched” by solar panels and other green gizmos when they become guinea pigs in AOC’s wealth transfer schemes ? I thought not.
Some of this proposal sounds like a bad leftist fantasy. read more
They could build public housing by stacking rocks – by hand. That’s pretty “carbon neutral.” And not too expensive either.
Absolutely despise a liberal’s idea at MY FRICKIN expense. Why don’t we ever see ‘good ideas’ funded by liberals?
The green new deal should be called what it is: An expensive unscientific taxpayer funded excursion into environmental fantasyland, aka Big Green Weenie.
How can public housing be “carbon” neutral when it’s filled with people who exhale CO2? I guess maybe it could work out if you crammed them full of people and then sealed them up airtight for a week or so. Start in San Francrisco, please.
The people in public housing and on public meal tickets traded their liberty for a bowl of lentils. Their input is not only not required or desired, they literally have no say in what the public policy experimenters dictate.
Fortunately for them they have five years, at least, to figure it out. Because Donald J Trump will save them from their impending doom.
Permission granted to extract your craniums from the dark recesses of your rectal canal.
Or surrender your voter ID cards that feeds your enormous sloth driven girth.
I don’t care if they build apartments out of gold. The homeless residents will still poop in the hallways, Junkies will shoot up in the alley and drunks will piss in the elevators and stairways.
The Green New Deal is nothing but leftist virtue signaling BS.
Liberals are VERY generous with things that are not theirs to dispense:
Morality and other people’s Money.
We’re already 23 trillion dollars in debt. In a nation of 330 million people that works out to SEVENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS per person. Before we take on new free-shit programs maybe we should pay off all our prior debts? It’s impossible to spend your way out of bankruptcy.
$180 Billion worth of virtue signalling by Socialists.
The good news is that Bernie Sanders will never be President. Ever.
Within 3 weeks of construction, the solar panels will be stripped, eBay will be awash with “used solar panels”, wind turbines will be stripped of their copper and we’ll be right back at square one only a lot poorer.
Rinse and repeat.
If all they want is housing, there are plenty of damaged shipping containers that can be stacked out in the desert for a Public housing complex.
First, no more steak, then its try some of these bugs.
Then “alcohol is made with grain that could feed people.”
Then She has a car accident
Bernie gets to live out his last fantasy of the world he dreams of before he drops dead on this campaign trail.
Bernie Sanders already has his ‘public housing’ mansions: he didn’t earn a dime that paid for them.
Bernie and AOC came up just a bit short with their voting bloc.
What they really want is one of those floating bungalows at the Sandals resorts with unlimited food and drink.
I mean C’mon Bernie. Get with it Alexandria. We demand TOP SHELF SOCIALISM. For the love of Pete, if we are shaking down our countrymen, go BIG or go home.
Solar powered tenements. Windmills?
Where’s my free unlimited Hennesy and Coke?
Cabrini-Green New Deal has a nice ring to it.
Deplorable TWP
That’s beautiful !!!
