It's good to see young people getting involved. I hope they don't get too discouraged when Corporate America starts flexing it's muscles.
Despite Few Details And Much Doubt, The Green New Deal Generates Enthusiasm : NPR
For a nonbinding resolution with an uncertain future, the Green New Deal is getting a lot of attention, along with a decidedly mixed reaction.
Dozens of Democrats on Thursday introduced the measure, an ambitious framework for future legislation designed to eliminate the U.S. carbon footprint by 2030.

Given the scope and ambitious nature of the Green New Deal, it might be tempting to criticize or dismiss activists supporting it. But Amy Myers Jaffe hopes older, more experienced policymakers won't do that.
"We need not to discourage them," she says. "They have an energy and will to innovation that is not only infectious, but inspiring."
And she says that could be what's needed to address a problem as daunting as climate change.
Most of these peoples brains aren't fully developed yet. The younger generation has been brainwashed by liberal schools. I think the voting age should be changed to 30. Every voter should be drug tested. Every voter should be tested for a basic understanding of the issues. Do you ever wonder how Hillary, the worst candidate ever, won the popular vote? It's time we get quality voters and get rid of those who vote only because t
hey want to see the first black President or the first women President.
The naysayers will of course tell everyone it can't be done. I think what they are failing to recognize, today's younger generations are the ones dealing with all the gun violence in their schools. Politics is changing and it's about damn time. For a couple hundred years it's been about capitalism and money and money and money. The younger generations are seeing politics in much more of a social issue sorta' way. They aren't so willing to give the military unlimited bucks, they would rather see it go into doing something about climate change and gun control. I think within the next twenty years we will see a new direction for out country. A better direction where money does not top our social responsibilities to one another. The party on the right who claim to have all these 'values' it's all bullcrap, value to the right is ben franklin and no other god shall come in front of him.
You can just smell the changing tide in all the states that have and are legalizing marijuana.
We are losing the generation that believes reefer madness was a documentary a d they are being replaced by a generation that knows it was obviously a comedy...

Under different circumstances, this would be worth discussing, but not at this time. Even with higher taxes, we won't be able to pay for it without causing rampant inflation.
Just to keep things in perspective, the funds missing from the Pentagon, somewhere north of $21 Trillion, would pay for such things as healthcare and education and environmental improvement for quite a few years. That just what's been stolen. The amount of taxpayer dollars diverted to the fraud that is the GWOT is obscene.
We've been taught that this is a government of the people, for the people and by the people. If that is a legitimate purpose of government, why not now? What is inherently wrong with universal healthcare or education?
No problem with with universal healthcare or education. My problem with it is the Government creating the jobs. If the Government nationalized the beer industry, they couldn't make it for less than 100 bucks a six pack.
