#houseresolution109

Personally, I love the hutzpah of Ms. AOC’s plan of House Resolution 109 . Her ambition knows no bounds. The Green New Deal is brilliant - on paper. Whether it can be put into fruition is the really big question.

Additionally, I have been reading and listening to a lot of commentary on the issue - and I have a few major questions myself for Ms. AOC. That is, if Speaker Palosi doesn’t toss the legislation out on it’s ass or let it die in a subcommittee first.

My initial questions are:

1) How is the government going to make Americans give up their vehicles? 2/3rds to 3/4ths of the American public lease and/or own their own vehicle. They need them to get to work, medical appointments, and/or school. They are not going to give them up without a big fight. It’s a big symbol of independence. 

2) How are people in rural areas going to get to their regional train station without the use of a vehicle that runs either on gas or ethanol and still make the train on time? 

3) Where are people going to live and work while their original homes, offices, and grocery stores are being refurbished to meet the energy efficient demands of House Resolution 109?

4) How are people going to keep warm or cook during the winter - or any season for that matter - without any natural gas available for heating?

5) How do you expect people to keep sanitary without any electricity to run the water pumps and/or water heaters? People can get very sick very quickly if sanitation becomes subpar.  Hospitals can become deadly if they don’t meet sanitation standards.

6)  What about international flights? Are those going to be banned from United States soil as well? Because with all air-traffic grounded, the economy comes to a screeching halt - as was almost seen during the recent 2018 - 2019 government shutdown.

7) How are you going to build a high speed rail when the state of California has decided to slow the scope and/or stop building theirs (CHSR) from Los Angeles to San Francisco due to cost and timing, according to Governor Gavin Newsom?

8) How are all of these brilliant resolutions going to be funded?
