Green New Deal: includes aid for those "unwilling to work". Thoughts?

katielass · F Best Comment
The new green deal is nothing but an attempt to advance regressive ideas. We are not going to have a guaranteed income for people who are unwilling to work. Only a complete moron would think that might work well in any society.
IMO she's a re-hash of the 60s. And her very socialist views might work in Venezuela and Cuba, but it ain't flyin' here!

@soar2newhighs Well, we are seeing how well it's worked in Venezuela and cuba is a nation of poor with a wealthy less than 1%.

She is so convinced and enthused.
I'm certain she has millennials mesmerized with her lunacy.
Democrat leaders are lining up in support.
That way they can get the millennial vote after they make AOC go away.

It's kind of scary though. It's all stupid of course but who ever thought three years ago that gay marriage would be the law of the land today? There's a lot of malleable leftist minds out there.

No air travel, no auto's, travel by train.....the end of flatulent cows….we must wean ourselves of meat, rebuild every building in the country and do it all within 10 years. With her belief in open borders that means everyone in the world will get "income" if they want to work or not.

The left doesn't even try and hide their stupidity any longer and sadly enough sheep will go for it.

I'm certain the final bill (if it ever passes) won't include that

I thought that was the Democrats platform.

@LonelyMan No, it's AOC's platform. It's so insane that Nancy Pelosi is jumping on the band wagon, along with other Democrat nut jobs like Maisie Hirono. They say, just to give you some idea of the cost, that if every person in the USA paid $3000.00 a year in additional taxes, on top of what they are paying now, it would take 9,000 years for us to pay it off.
It shows she's not ready for Primetime yet, basically.

I like her enthusiasm and her attitude is refreshing (and annoying well), but I probably wouldn't vote for her anytime soon.

Then again, the Green New Deal is not going anywhere anytime soon, anyway with Trump in the White House and little support from both the House and the Senate.

I think Ms. Cortez got a dose of political hardball and it's underbelly reality when DeBlasio and Cuomo both Democrats, got the Amazon deal done. Politics 101-"$$$ talks. BS walks"

@PoizonApple Ugh. Can you imagine how many millions of people would decide to just stay home in their tents on the streets in San Francisco, pooping everywhere and doing drugs and letting the sane people pay for their food?
