Where’s the money to make Green New Deal happen?

According to Howard Schultz, in order to achieve the Green New Deal goal of every building using clean energy by 2030, 2,000 to 3,000 buildings per day must be replaced to make that deadline, at a cost of $93 trillion! Similar to the carbon tax proposed previously by Gov. Inslee, passage of the Green New Deal would bankrupt the country (and the world!).

That alone proves the Green New Deal is nothing more than a smokescreen from the left. Where do the sponsors of the legislation, including Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash.) think the money is going to come from?

Speaking of Rep. Jayapal, she has introduced legislation to provide Medicare for All, paying for it by removing President Trump’s recently passed tax cuts and adding additional taxes. Say ‘bye, bye’ to your money, as you pay for the homeless!

Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez stated Sunday that Democrats “need to create an economy that works for everyone.” With total unemployment at a 50-year low, unemployment for Hispanic and Asian workers at all-time record lows, U.S. manufacturing jobs up significantly and all of that coupled with a cut in taxes, who doesn’t this economy work for?

Currently, neither King or Snohomish county will arrest drug users, allowing unrestricted narcotic use to continue. With some 10,000 homeless people here currently, and our parks and playgrounds becoming increasingly covered with a flood of needles, all our Democratic lawmakers and bureaucrats want to do is give them more money and space!
