AOC!  To Democrats, she, seemingly, is the greatest things since sliced bread!  Her preposterous “Green New Deal” is guesstimated to cost nearly $100-TRILLION!  That, in and of itself, is laughable … there’s not that much money in the whole world!  But, what’s not laughable is that nearly all of the Democrat Party’s 2020 presidential candidates, plus 100 of the party’s other congressional representatives, have endorsed it!  Scarier yet, the Democrats, who do realize that it’s ridiculous, say nothing … cowards?  That’s probably a good thing, though for Republicans; if they don’t have the guts to stand-up against AOC’s childish nonsense, then, they don’t have much of a leg to stand on when it comes to objecting to America’s $22-TRILLION debt.
How can even the most “progressive” Democrat say with a straight face that they are for no cows, no planes, no combustion engines, no electricity, no tech, no manufacturing, no cars, no trucks, no tractors, no heat, no air conditioning, no hydraulics, no grids, no hospital equipment, no modern-day press, no retail-prepared ammo, no steam, no ships, no anything made with electrical tools and no more children?  Those are just a small few of AOC’s “Green New Deal” … in other words, no farms, no ranches, no food and no water.  Like the debt, Democrats won’t have to worry about being for or against tariffs!  There won’t be any imports or exports!
Even if it means tearing them all down and starting over, every building, house and other structures in America, will have to be retrofitted in accordance with AOC’s standards.  Darn!  Just when Pres. Trump was ridding us of those nasty regulations and expensive boon-doggles when it comes to obtaining a building permit.   AOC says that, if we don’t follow her instructions, there’ll be no planet in 12 years.  In other words, no God!  But, Christian Americans agree that man/woman can make all of the stupid decisions he/she wants; and, whether AOC likes it or not, God is in charge of that one!
Mitch McConnell (generously!!) allowed AOC’s GND onto the Senate floor for a vote.  It was defeated 57-0.  All but seven senators voted “present”, instead of “yay” or “nay”.  Serious American “citizens” elect congressional representatives, send them to D.C. (not by horse) and expect them to be capable of decision-making.  “Present” isn’t a decision.  How could any senator, with an ounce of common sense, not vote against the preposterous nonsense as GND?   But, even though Schumer isn’t one of their constituents, he told his puppets, like Tester, how to vote; and, so they did.  The American people, especially Montanans, are smart enough to know that “nay” was an easy choice on that bill.  Thank heavens we’ve got Sen. Daines in there to protect us!
So, why would elected representatives not do their job by voting “present” on a simple, 9-page, easy to read and easy to understand bill?  The answer is simple.  “Free everything” wins elections.  GND offers free education (K-college), forgiveness of existing college loans, free food, free housing, free income (even for those, who prefer not to work), free retirement, free healthcare, free Medicare, free disability benefits, free Medicaid and free Social Security.  AOC wants a 70% wealth tax on the people, who create millions of jobs.  She celebrates that she ran-off “greedy” Amazon from NY … never mind that it would have provided 25,000 high-paying jobs, which would have greatly benefited her own constituents.  She, also, wants to raise estate, state, retail and income taxes for all.
Even though she attended college, AOC is woefully uneducated.  She tries to tell people that the US/MX border is the equivalent of the Berlin Wall!  “Gullibles”, like Chuck Todd (MSNBC) believe her.  He gushed over her at a Town Hall meeting last week (March 2019).  Attendees wildly applauded and hung on her every word, no matter how inaccurate.  She chided Republicans for pushing the 2nd Amendment “in order to stop FDR from running for another term”.   FDR died in office before it was ever discussed!  It wasn’t ratified until Feb. 27, 1951.  But, if AOC wants to get rid of it, why not accommodate her?  Then, Pres. Trump could run term after term after term!
