Did you know House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Democrat from San Francisco is a "radical conservative?" That's how the spinmeister for the newly minted Rep. A. Ocasio Cortez describes those who stand in her way. “I am talking about the radical conservatives in the Democratic Party,” said Saikat Chakrabarti, Chief of Staff to Rep. O-Cortez.
Could that be because Pelosi refused to appoint Cortez to the special House committee on climate change? Or was it when Pelosi described Rep. Cortez's signature idea, the Green New Deal this way:
PELOSI: "It will be one of several or maybe many suggestions that we receive. The green dream, or whatever they call it, nobody knows what it is, but they're for it, right?"Rather than being a "radical conservative" can it be that Pelosi kept her distance to the Green New Deal because it's an even bigger joke than she is? As the plan was unveiled, it was greeted not with cheers but howls of laughter. Ending air travel, rebuilding or refitting every building in the country to be green compliant and getting rid of gas powered cars in ten years is just the tip of the iceberg.
They also want to end cattle production. As the plan says "he only way to get rid of farting cows is to get rid of beef." Then there's every other socialist wish list: free health care, education and money for those who choose not to work. In short it's Venezuela, American style. And they want to do it all in ten years. Reminds me of the old Soviet five year plans and would likely have the same result. Total economic ruination.
If you want to see more details of the plan click here. Don't look for them on Rep. Cortez's official government web site. That page has mysteriously disappeared. Probably because comedians were stealing the material. If fully implemented the plan would cost tens of trillions of dollars. Cortez doesn't even know how much and suggests that government "credit" will pay for it.1) By the end of the Green New Deal resolution (and accompanying fact sheet) I was laughing so hard I nearly cried. If a bunch of GOPers plotted to forge a fake Democratic bill showing how bonkers the party is, they could not have done a better job. It is beautiful. #GreenNewDeal— Kimberley Strassel (@KimStrassel) February 7, 2019
Remember that Dems say $5 billion Trump's border barrier is a waste of money but they advocate plans that would cost 10,000 times that!
The Green New Deal is a joke but that hasn't stopped Democrat 2020 presidential hopefuls from hopping on board. By doing so, they immediately draw a contrast with President Trump who made the following vow in the State of the Union address.
In 2020 voters can choose Trump or choose crazy. At this rate, Trump may even get Pelosi's vote!
