REPORT: AOC's 'Green New Deal' Would Send Gas Prices Skyrocketing to $13 Per Gallon
Not one. Not two. Not three. Not four…sounding like LeBron James over here when he signed with the Miami Heat.
13.
That’s how much money Americans would be paying PER GALLON if Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s “Green New Deal” became a reality.
Too bad the media won’t inform the uninformed.
From Washington Examiner:
The socialistic Green New Deal, pushed by New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and winning broad support from Democratic presidential candidates could lead to a $10 increase on a single gallon of gas, according to a new study of the so-called “carbon tax” and the liberal bid to rid vehicles that burn fossil fuels.
The CO2 Coalition’s study, mostly focused on the government’s effort to assign an environmental price on the future “Social Cost of Carbon,” also looked at the ultimate goal of liberals to rid gas-powered autos, key to the Green New Deal.
[…]
The result: A $10 per gallon gas tax and final price of some $13, or about the cost of shifting to EVs, about $2,700. “That is the economic breaking point of driving gas-powered cars,” he said.
Ocasio Cortez…(pause to take a breath from laughing)…thought she was attacking the GOP.
Instead, she proved how ignorant she truly is by not knowing that Rep. John Yarmouth is a Democrat.
If this isn’t an instant classic than nothing is!
From Daily Wire:
Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) tried to suggest a “GOP” lawmaker was being creepy for taking a picture next to a poster cutout of her and ended up being widely mocked for not realizing that the lawmaker was actually a Democrat.
The Kentucky Republican Party posted a picture of Rep. John Yarmuth (D-KY) next to a cutout poster of Ocasio-Cortez in a tweet, writing: “#ThrowbackThursday last month the socialists threatened the lone #Kentucky #Democrat in Congress if he didn’t bend to their radical, extremist will: looks like @AOC and #socialism are calling the shots for @KyDems now!”

Right before the screw up, AOC was doing what she does best: blasting Republicans on Twitter.
LOOK:
To avoid looking completely + utterly out of touch w/ the reality our prison system:
Instead of asking, “Should the Boston Bomber have the right to vote?”
Try, “Should a nonviolent person stopped w/ a dime bag LOSE the right to vote?”
Bc that question reflects WAY more people.

Reminder:
– Slavery ➡️ Jim Crow + Redlining ➡️ War on Drugs ➡️ Mass Incarceration
– Black Americans & PoC are far more likely to be convicted + sentenced longer than White Americans for similar crimes.
– Our system routinely criminalizes poverty + exonerates wealth

Many rebut the voting question by saying, “Well, *those* people shouldn’t be jailed.”
Glad you feel that way! But the truth is, the US incarcerates more people per capita than anywhere in the world – even more than China.
Our system is built to disenfranchise people of color ⬇️
