Democrats are increasingly lining up to support a “Green New Deal,” which, while vague on details, could end up being the largest expansion of government in decades.
As it stands, the “Green New Deal” is more aspirational than actual policy. Indeed, it takes its name from the New Deal of the 1930s, and its main backer, incoming Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, compared it to the Great Society of the 1960s.
More than 40 Democratic lawmakers support the “Green New Deal” as part of a broad plan to fight global warming and bring about what they see as “economic, social and racial justice.” A poll found most Americans supported the deal, but knew little about it.
But the big question is when Americans find out what’s in the “Green New Deal,” will they be willing to pay for it?

They never deliver the goods, just talk a lot about it.
Gonna be time for the revolution my friends
All I can say is I hope there will be more push back on Constitutional grounds then there was on Franklin D. Roosevelt New Deal.
SBJ
I'm not ok with how much we spend now!
Total idiots
how are they ever going to pay for it?
the country will be no more
Nancy, Schumer, Hildabeast, Auntie Maxie and their like are so full of hot air and they definitely contribute to global warming.
I'm sick of hearing about global warming especially when the world wants Americans to pay for it while other countries are aloud to pollute. I do my best to recycle however none of my neighbors care to do so. Amazing - just fill those mountains with trash.
