RUSH: Last Thursday, New York’s young socialist congresswoman, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, released her “Green New Deal” resolution. She’s calling for “a massive transformation of our society.”
Ed Markey, Massachusetts Democrat, 72 years old, introduced the resolution in the Senate. A bunch of Democrat presidential candidates immediately endorsed it before they had ever even read it.
The Green New Deal calls for “de-carbonizing” our economy. Getting rid of cars, airplanes, and cow farts. Rebuilding every building in America, or retrofitting them, if necessary.
And now that America is the No. 1 energy producer in the world under President Trump, these Democrats are demanding the elimination of all fossil fuel energy.
Now this Green New Deal is the same old liberal blue wish-list that the socialist left has been pushing for the last 100 years. It’s the same stupidity that destroys every country that tries it, every time it’s tried.
