Thursday was the day that the much-hyped Green New Deal as promoted by socialist diva Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was officially unveiled and it’s a doozy.

Via The Daily Wire, “AOC’s Green New Deal Proposal Is One Of The Stupidest Documents Ever Written”:
How bad is the Green New Deal paper? Putting aside the fact that, as written, it would receive a C+ in any high school English class, it essentially articulates a magical world in which the skies rain chocolate, the world is powered by unicorn farts, and AOC dances through the gumdrop meadows to Lisztomania. The proposal calls for the United States to be free of carbon emissions within 10 years without the use of nuclear power. It calls for every building in the United States to be replaced or retrofitted in green fashion. It calls for universal healthcare, free college education, the replacement of airplanes with high-speed trains, charging stations “everywhere” (this is the sort of exactness the proposal contains), replacement of “every combustion-engine vehicle,” government-provided jobs, family and medical leave, vacations, retirement security, and the abolition of “farting cows.” It also calls for total “economic security” for anyone “unable or unwilling to work.”
Whether AOC plans to chain up billionaires and work them against their will or simply engage in anti-billionaire dekulakization remains to be seen. After all, somebody will have to pay for this.
Or not. According to AOC, nobody will have to pay for this – like a timeshare you bought on the Big Island of Hawaii in 1997, this thing will pay for itself! This is a direct quote: “At the end of the day, this is an investment in our economy that should grow our wealth as a nation, so the question isn’t how we will pay for it, but what will we do with our new shared prosperity.”
AOC’s radical plan for the complete transformation of American society was even worse than advertised and was immediately ridiculed over some of the more outlandish aspects like calls to replace EVERY building in America, the construction of high-speed rail systems to largely replace airplanes and to provide “economic security for all who are unable or unwilling to work.”
Despite not having read it, the opportunistic identity politics queen and Democrat frontrunner Kamala Harris rushed to endorse it:
I’m proud to co-sponsor @AOC and @EdMarkey's Green New Deal. We must aggressively tackle climate change which poses an existential threat to our nation.
— Kamala Harris (@KamalaHarris) February 7, 2019
But the manifesto provided on AOC’s website was quickly taken down after mockery over getting rid of the “farting cows” and suggestions what she wanted to build hat high-speed rail over oceans as well as on land.
