There were some very interesting numbers that came out of the Senate v**e on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal.
The major one is that not a single Senator supported it.
Zero.
Zip.

Zilch.
Nada.
Not her proud original co-sponsor, Sen. Ed Marky(D-MA).
Not even the P**********l hopefuls that hopped on the bandwagon to co-sponsor it and have been singing the praises of the innovative and ‘visionary’ resolution.
Sen. Cory ‘Spartacus’ Booker(D-NJ), known for his speeches that go just a wee bit too far, parroted back AOC’s claim that fighting c*****e c****e is ‘our World War II’ and he went further — it’s like putting a man on the moon!
Yet, he did not v**e for it.
Sen. Kamala Harris(D-CA), who has backed the GND resolution in her campaign while cackling about pot that apparently allowed her to travel through time…
…but she didn’t v**e for it, either.
In a long, rambling speech, Sen. Elizabeth ‘Pocahontas’ Warren(D-MA) also compared the Green New Deal’s vision to the moon landing.
She still didn’t v**e for it.
Sen. Bernie Sanders(D-VT) was a ‘proud original co-sponsor’ of the Green New Deal.
But not proud enough to v**e for it, apparently.
Freshman Rep. Alexandria Occasional-Cortex(D-NY) was furious that a resolution that she proposed, and was co-sponsored by multiple Senators that are now running for a chance to become the President of the United States, was being put to a v**e in the Senate.
Ocasio-Cortez defended herself after the defeat and argued she encouraged the Democratic senators to v**e ‘present’ instead of in the affirmative.
‘I encouraged them to v**e present, along w/ others. McConnell tried to rush the #GreenNewDeal straight to the floor without a hearing. The real question we should be asking: Why does the Senate GOP refuse to hold any major hearings on c*****e c****e?,’ the self-described socialist explained in a tweet responding to the lack of Democratic v**es.
‘The GOP’s climate delaying is costing us lives + destroying communities. Iowa, Nebraska & many in the Midwest are catastrophically flooded right now, in one of the 1st major c*****e c****e disasters of 2019. A #GreenNewDeal urges us to pursue a plan on the scale of the problem,’ she added.
The absolute brilliance of Senate Majority Leader ‘Cocaine’ Mitch McConnell(R-KY) was to get these Senators to actually put on record their support for a far-left activist document ahead of the 2020 P**********l e******n.
Democrats who lost some seats in the Senate and are hoping to win back the White House which would end the ‘reign of terror’ that is Trumpian Conservatism, decided to blame the GOP for making them take a stand one way or the other on the Green New Deal.
What’s the issue with ‘rushing’ the v**e on the Green New Deal? According to the New Yorker, AOC’s staff came up with the resolution in the span of a single weekend.
Democratic Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts, the principle sponsor of the legislation in the Senate, called McConnell’s move a ‘sham.’
He said Tuesday before the v**e that the GOP leader ‘wants to sabotage calls for climate action.’
And Ocasio-Cortez slammed the majority leader for holding a ‘bluff v**e.’
‘The GOP’s whole game of wasting v**es in Congress to target others ‘on the record’, for leg they have no intent to pass, is a disgrace. Stop wasting the American peoples’ time + learn to govern. Our jobs aren’t for campaigning, & that’s exactly what these bluff-v**es are for,’ she wrote on Twitter on Friday.
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer called the v**e a ‘political stunt.’

FIRST THINGS FOR THE GREEN ECONOMY
Our Constitution’s Preamble states the purpose of our federal government: justice, tranquility, defense, general welfare, and the “Blessings of Liberty” that we must provide for Posterity. Each of these goals implies the creation of institutions of considerable magnitude. Justice and tranquility require first responders, hospitals, courts, and prisons. Defense implies forces with unlimited needs that must be provided by the nation’s industry, which implies a system of education and healthcare. General welfare and “Blessings” imply an open-ended list of things. We can put all of the above under the heading of “infrastructure”. Given that we are surrounded by hostile forces seeking to dominate us, our need for infrastructure is unlimited.
To provide for those infinite needs, Congress must plan for the world’s best infrastructure. Then it must create that infrastructure by spending wh**ever is needed, buying required resources at the fastest rate possible without harming with the well-being of the private sector. In practice, this means spending as much as possible without causing inflation. Ideally, our economy should be operating steadily at the onset of harmful inflation. In practice, the economy’s money supply and output fluctuate so that the best spending practice would be to aim at that ideal.
Thus, the need to combat inflation is a primary concern. With maximum spending there must be maximum taxation to remove excess discretionary income and wealth from the economy. With a liberal economy and relatively free trade, the distribution of income and wealth in the population will be top heavy. For efficient taxation of discretionary income, such a distribution requires steeply progressive federal income and estate tax brackets with no taxation of non-discretionary income and wealth. Because of the “tax-bracket creep” that occurs with rising incomes during economic expansions, steeply progressive tax brackets also have the virtue of increasing (decreasing) the ratio of tax revenue to total spending during economic expansions (contractions), thus smoothing the fluctuation of the economy’s money supply and output.
Spending on infrastructure must be matched by spending on people. Until our munitions industry and armed forces are completely robotic, wars will be waged by people in the line of fire and those behind it. And they will be waged more successfully when the people are well-educated and healthy. Accordingly, there is no rational reason to require individuals to pay for their education or for maintaining their health. There is every rational reason to provide expense-paid education for all at all levels of learning. Likewise, there should be free healthcare for all, including free nurseries, day-care, and pre-K for parents with such a need.
To fulfill the aims stated in the Preamble to our Constitution, the physical structures and personnel required for these services have a cost that Congress must bear. In effect, Congress should pay the people to provide the nation’s infrastructure and to provide both the best-educated and healthiest workforce and the world’s best military force. No other course can achieve the goals set for us by our Founders.
