Fyre Festival of Legislative Proposals

The Green New Deal is the Fyre Festival of legislative proposals. Everyone spends all their money on what’s promised to be an amazing destination only to get there and find yourself sleeping in a tent and selling your soul for a bottle of Evian.

As Bad as Expected

Democrats have released the “Green New Deal,” proposal and it’s just as bad as expected. This liberal proposal is full of leftists ideas that would cost taxpayers an astronomical amount of money. #GreenNewDeal

No, it was far worse. Perhaps Heritage is more imaginative than I am. Ship of Fools: How a S... Carlson, Tucker Check Amazon for Pricing.

Revenge of the Millennials

Bloomberg writer Karl W. Smith calls it Revenge of the Millennials

Almost every major new economic initiative proposed by Democrats — the Green New Deal, Medicare for all, debt-free college — has a common feature: Unlike most current social programs, it would benefit younger Americans at the expense of older Americans.

Now, finally, it seems that they have had enough. They want to use fiscal policy to help repair the damage wrought by monetary policy. This isn’t necessarily the way I would address the issue; I would argue for fixing monetary policy instead of spending vast additional sums to support a new suite of government entitlements. I am certainly sympathetic, however, to those who think otherwise.

Smith is mistaken. This proposal sounds just like the lofty socialist goals of Castro, Chavez, Maduro, and Mugabe (Cuba, Venezuela, Venezuela, and Zimbabwe).

Implementing AOC’s plan would do just what Stukey suggested to which I add:

If someone blows off your left arm with a shotgun, it’s best not to blow your right arm off as “revenge”.
