Green New Deal? Try, economic Armageddon

To understand what Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s “Green New Deal” would mean for the economy, just watch the video below.

Unsurprisingly, Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., sees things differently. Releasing her Green New Deal resolution on Thursday, Ocasio-Cortez pledged that her plan will be awesome. Promising to move America to 100 percent renewable energy usage over the next 10 years, the plan also calls for redeveloping every element of national energy, transport, and economic infrastructure. It promises high-paid jobs and a government-guaranteed job for every American. It pledges “economic security,” even for those who are “unwilling” to work. It commits to high-quality healthcare and higher education, again, paid for by government.
