What is the Green New Deal?

The Green New Deal is a 10-year plan to create a greenhouse gas neutral society that creates unprecedented levels of prosperity and wealth for all while ensuring economic and environmental justice and security.

The Green New Deal achieves this through a World War 2 scale mobilization that focuses the robust and creative economic engine of the United States on reversing climate change by fully rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure, restoring our natural ecosystems, dramatically expanding renewable power generation, overhauling our entire transportation system, upgrading all our buildings, jumpstarting US clean manufacturing, transforming US agriculture, and putting our nation's people to work doing what they do best: making the impossible possible.

Any large-scale transformation of society can create the risk of some people slipping through the cracks. That’s why the Green New Deal also calls for an upgrade to the basic economic securities enjoyed by all people in the US to ensure everybody benefits from the newly created wealth. It guarantees to everyone:

A job with family-sustaining wages, family and medical leave, vacations, and retirement security
High-quality education, including higher education and trade schools
High-quality health care
Clean air and water
Healthy food
Safe, affordable, adequate housing
An economic environment free of monopolies
Economic security to all who are unable or unwilling to work

Economic security to all who are unable or unwilling to work

I read something earlier that said she wants to expand rail service to the point that air travel is no longer necessary.
Trains across the ocean.

It's pretty bad when I'm not 100% sure whether the article was real or satire.
She's that stupid.

So the idiot plans to pay for this my starting WWIII and having decades or war like Vietnam.

We will finance the investments for the Green New Deal the same way we paid for the original New Deal, World War II, the bank bailouts, tax cuts for the rich, and decades of war

She had me at "reversing climate change"....

i have the answer:

many companies have A shares and B shares. typically, the A shares get to vote on company matters and get dividends. B shares don't get to vote, but do get dividends. perfect.

if you are a Representative, you have an A share: you get to vote, and you get a salary. if you are just an ordinary citizen, you have a B share, you don't get to vote, but you still get a salary. done.
