The Green New Deal: Less About Climate, More About Control

If someone asked you to describe the Green New Deal, what would you say?

According to Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., it’s a “bold idea” that would “create millions of good-paying jobs” and help “rebuild communities in rural America that have been devastated.”

Oh, you thought the Green New Deal was all about fighting climate change? Well, think again.

Turns out it’s a green-glossed Trojan horse designed to increase government control over the economy.

Just ask Saikat Chakrabarti, chief of staff to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., the author of the deal. “The interesting thing about the Green New Deal is it wasn’t originally a climate thing at all,” Chakrabarti said. “We really think of it as a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing.”

The radical left is showing their hand in plain sight. What I don't get is the people standing in the background who applaud these loons when they make outrageous statements. Are they shills getting paid to look enthusiastic? How could any rational person support such ridiculous concepts?

I feel the exact same way 7:43. How can people not have enough self respect to think for themselves. They truly are sheep, being led to the slaughterhouse

I find it ODD that Obama just bought a Muti-Million dollar estate RIGHT ON THE OCEAN. Yet he and the Democrats preach Global Warming and the Eastern shore of USA will be under water in 10 YEARS. Such a Hypocrite.
