“Infrastucture Bill” Essentially New Green Deal: Jim Banks

The Democrats infrastructure bill has been slammed by Republican Study Committee Chairman, Jim Banks, as essentially a new green deal.

Banks wrote, “Only $110 billion of the so-called $1 trillion-plus bipartisan infrastructure package goes toward road, bridges and other major projects that the American people generally consider “infrastructure.”

Chief of Staff to Ocasio-Cortez Admit’s Her “Green Deal Is Not All About the Environment

Saikat Chakrabarti

Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s “Green Deal” is more about the overhaul of the US economy than it is about climate change. This was the surprise admission made by Saikat Chakrabarti, Ocasio-Cortez’s Chief of Staff.

“The interesting thing about the Green New Deal, is it wasn’t originally a climate thing at all,” Chakrabarti said to Inslee’s climate director, Sam Ricketts.

“Do you guys think of it as a climate thing?” Because we really think of it as a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing,” Chakrabarti added.

The “Green Deal” has some radical left-wing proposals. For example the end of fossil fuels within 10 years, a basic income program, universal health care, and job guarantees.

It has been estimated that the “Green Deal” could cost $98 trillion over a decade.
