Jackson, Mississippi -- Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) promoted a few of her signature proposals at a town hall event Monday night -- which, all told, could cost a combined $3.7 googols [not to be confused with Google, which is where I learned that a googol has 100 zeros after the number], according to recent estimates.
The policies she has in mind are the Green New Deal, "free" [LOL] universal child care administered by pediatricians at the point of a gun, and slavery reparations paid for by Americans for people who held slaves in the past but for whom they are likely not related. Even if your family came to America after the abolition of slavery, you still are guilty of being white, if you are white. Even Robert O'Rourke apologized for being white, so reparations is the left's way of doing so, and is a great virtue signal for them.
The 2020 Democratic hopeful told the crowd that the Green New Deal represents a way forward for the country, Venezuela style.
“That’s how we build a future. And I’ll add one little piece to it and say when you take a look at the Green New Deal, understand this is about building the infrastructure for the 21st century, for a sustainable world,” Spouting Bull said, forgetting to mention that since the GND has been proposed by a congressional eco major, she has been hoarding toilet paper, canned food and gold, "just in case."
“We do these things together because you can’t start a little business and at the same time try to build the road out front of your house. [WTF?] ... What’s happened in America is we have cut back on those infrastructure investments. Right now, we are spending about six-tenths of one percent on our infrastructure. China, by comparison, is spending about five percent of its GDP on infrastructure.” [Yeah but their stuff falls apart in a week.]

Can you picture bridges crashing down and roads with potholes the size of Death Valley if we go with Fauxcahontas?

The sweeping proposal put forward by bug-eyed Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, (D-NY), could cost as much as $93 trillion, or approximately $600,000 per household, according to a January study co-authored by the former director of the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. This should scare anyone with a functioning cortex.
The unprecedented quite stupid plan doesn't come cheap, American Action Forum president Douglas Holtz-Eakin and his co-authors wrote in the study.
"The Green New Deal is clearly very expensive," the study concluded. "Its further expansion of the federal government’s role in some of the most basic decisions of daily life, however, would likely have a more lasting and damaging impact than its enormous price tag." And it's freaking socialism! It will not work, it never has and it never will because it's a flawed ideology that goes against human nature and freedom.
During her town hall, Warren also voiced support for reparations and said she would back the creation of a useless, overpaid panel “to examine slavery and discrimination in the colonies and the United States from 1619 to the present and recommend appropriate remedies,” rather than simply asking Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden what was it like back then.
"I believe it's time to start the national, full-blown conversation about reparations," Warren said on CNN, before adding: “ignoring the problem is not working.”
“We get a 2 percent tax on the 75,000 richest families in this country, we would have enough money to provide universal childcare, universal pre-k, universal pre-pre-k for every child in America and still have $2 trillion left over. Let’s make it happen.”

In other words, take the money away from the rich, those who took risks investing their capital in a business or some venture, and give it to people who have more melanin in their skin because they might be related to someone who was a slave that had nothing to do with the rich person from whom you are stealing.
This is why socialism and Communism are immoral.
I hope you'll follow Brain Flushings and have a few laughs while you get a conservative viewpoint. Politics is the new NFL without the mindless kneeling and this blog will both inform you and hopefully entertain you bigly.
