Green New Deal in the hands of Democrats is a dagger aimed at the heart of the middle class

 Joel Kotkin here in The New York Post:

If these Democrats win both houses of Congress as well as the White House, things could get far worse for the already beleaguered middle class, which has been rocked by the pandemic, with an estimated 100,000 small firms going out of business. Particularly hard-hit by the recent urban unrest are inner city and minority businesses. ...

If the Democrats win on Election Day, the future for the middle class could be bleak. As a lifelong Democrat, this is not easy to write, but most of the party’s initiatives — such as the Green New Deal — are directly harmful to those in the middle and working classes, who’d be forced to face increased housing and energy prices and fewer upwardly mobile jobs in industries like manufacturing.

Nature accomplishes in a matter of days for free what Green New Deal only dreams of doing in years costing trillion$

$1 billion in losses estimated in Nebraska alone last I checked. Your hamberder is going to cost a fortune now.

You want cheese wit dat? That'll be extra.

The Green New Deal aims to expand high speed rail "to a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary"

Air travel stopped being necessary for me in 1996.

Haven't flown since.

Just Say No To Air Travel.
