Green New Danger

The so-called “Green New Deal” is a Green new danger for America.

It is the ultimate in “watermelon” policy; Green on the outside while red within.

While the “GND” remains somewhat nebulous when it comes to specifics, we can learn quite a bit from a proposed rule change newly sworn in Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez submitted to the House. We posted the entire document to CFACT.org for you to examine.

The Ocasio-Cortez proposal would create a new congressional subcommittee tasked with drafting legislation to basically end America’s free economy and substitute left-wing central management. Here’s an excerpt stating that the GND shall:

(vi) mitigate deeply entrenched racial, regional and gender-based inequalities in income and wealth (including, without limitation, ensuring that federal and other investment will be equitably distributed to historically impoverished, low income, deindustrialized or other marginalized communities in such a way that builds wealth and ownership at the community level);
(vii) include additional measures such as basic income programs, universal health care programs and any others as the select committee may deem appropriate to promote economic security, labor market flexibility and entrepreneurism;

Adjust Earth’s thermostat through redistribution of wealth? We’re hearing this foolishness far too often for comfort.
