The 'Green' New Deal...

The attached PDF is the bill submitted yesterday, scary stuff, too rough to go anywhere. But I think it's sort of what we can expect from the Democrats for a while. They only have a week left to fund the wall (keep hearing Pink Floyd), and they are playing with this crap, and more Russian investigations. Haven't finished the first, and already staring the 2.0 version. More than 2 years, they should be able to show some justification.

It's only 14 pages now, but certain to grow to many thousands, as they hammer out the details. Might be small, but they pack a whole lot of spending into the rough draft. It's not constrained to going 'Green', they tack on a bunch of entitlements as well, vote candy. I think it's really an eye-opener though, since it really stears left of the Constitution, and hopefully, more people will start to see the Democrat agenda, for what it is, socialism. The Venezuela meltdown came at an opportune time, just have look at how that worked out for the population. Our Constitution never promised us a lot of free stuff, just the freedom to work to our own goals. We are free to get an education, if we want, but we have to do the work, and work to pay for it, not expect others to pick up the tab.

It's really interesting, since bits and pieces were in the works by past Democrat Presidents, this just starts to tie it all together. Obama was big on fast trains (Florida narrowly dodged the Bullet train, and more than half the price). Seems that those train projects, were meant to eliminate air travel, since there is no alternative energy for commercial jets, private either (popular with the politicians). From the collisions and fatalities of our new Obama light-rail train (SunRail), think I'd prefer flying. SunRail hasn't been running a year, but we get an accident almost weekly. Even hit a school bus not long ago (no kids on board).

I've got to read through the bill a little closer, there were just so many crazy, and costly thing in there, could stay focused on much of it.
