Liberals, how are you going to pay for your $93 Trillion Green New Deal?

The rich don't have enough for you to steal it from them?

    Well, we've been growing our economies, by allowing banks to create money ("credit") out of thin air, for over 400 years.....

    The report of $51 trillion to $93 trillion. When has any government project came in on budget. When the government bureaucrats come up with a figure, double it and it might be close. Lot of people propose a large figure and then negotiate for something in the middle. These new socialists want everything their way will not settle for anything less. This will make it impossible for the Green New Deal to ever happen.

    You are asking liberals, 'how are YOU going to pay?" No, no, no...they have no intention of paying. It's YOU who will pay.

    nothing like an actual plan that expensive would ever pass, i wouldn't vote for it, and i'm sure a lot of other liberals never would either

    which is not to say i don't totally understand the motivation behind the proposal, or the need for some kind of actual plan to address the issue

    because pretending the problem doesn't exist, isn't going to excuse you, or anyone else, from paying the cost of its long term consequences, over the next several decades, and that cost will not be in any way trivial either

    heck even that "93 trillion" figure, which i expect you probably got straight out of some elephant's a ss, could conceivably seem like a missed bargain eventually

    The report you're referencing said between $51 trillion and $93 trillion over ten years (a couple of important piece of information that you omitted, but I am not sure if that was intentional or not).

    Now - I'm not exactly sure what the point of such a study was, given the so-called Green New Deal is a broad policy outline, it does not contain specific resolutions.

    I assume this study was done (it was performed by a right-wing think tank) to stifle debate.
