Sen. Edward Markey (D-MA) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) unveiled the “Green New Deal” resolution calling for broad scope of economic and energy reforms to target climate change. In the press conference, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez said the president has expanded the government in other ways and responded to Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s comments on the proposal.

These people crack me up. These old fogeys are falling all over themselves to rally around this naive inexperienced girl. And they actually think this will be a winning 2020 issue. Trump will roll right over them poor things.

Has Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) been caught LYING about this subject YET?

I'll have to look Ron. Let me find the resolution.

This seems to be a lie:

"human activity is the dominant cause of observed climate change over the past century;"

This is a lie:

"the United States must take a leading role in reducing emissions through economic transformation;"

And all this crap is a bunch of lies:

Whereas climate change, pollution, and environmental destruction have exacerbated systemic racial, regional, social, environmental, and economic injustices (referred to in this preamble as ‘‘systemic injustices’’) by disproportionately affecting indigenous communities, communities of color, migrant communities, deindustrialized communities, depopulated rural communities, the poor, low-income workers, women, the elderly, the unhoused, people with disabilities, and youth (referred to in this preamble as ‘‘frontline and vulnerable communities’’);

Whereas, climate change constitutes a direct threat to the national security of the United States—

by impacting the economic, environmental, and social stability of countries and communities around the world; and
by acting as a threat multiplier;
Whereas the Federal Government-led mobilizations during World War II and the New Deal created the greatest middle class that the United States has ever seen, but many members of frontline and vulnerable communities were excluded from many of the economic and societal benefits of those mobilizations; and

Whereas the House of Representatives recognizes that a new national, social, industrial, and economic mobilization on a scale not seen since World War II and the New Deal is a historic opportunity—

to create millions of good, high-wage jobs in the United States;
to provide unprecedented levels of prosperity and economic security for all people of the United States; and
to counteract systemic injustices:

This resolution is SO disgusting and offensive I can't read any more. Have at it Ron, be my guest.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Friday, February 8th 2019 at 10:05PM

You are just throwing 💩 against the wall, trying to see what will stick.

Going green is a good thing for all man kind.

We do know they don't care about the planet. They only care about 2020. Markey said so repeatedly, every chance he got.

Steve Williams Friday, February 8th 2019 at 10:45PM

Though I have no idea why you think this will help in 2020.
