Feinstein knows Green New Deal is an impossible dream – Gives students lesson in reality

When you find yourself further to the left than uber-liberal Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., you know you've left common sense and reality far behind and gone way, way off the deep end and entered Fantasy Land.

That happened Friday when a group of middle school and high school students confronted Feinstein in her San Francisco office and demanded she support the Green New Deal – a nonbinding resolution before Congress that's a collection of impossible dreams that are impossible to achieve and impossible to pay for.

The visit by the children was organized by a radical environmental group called the Sunrise Movement.

The Green New Deal is a nonbinding resolution introduced in Congress by democratic socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass. It's supposed to be a successor to the New Deal created by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1933 to lift America out of the Great Depression.

Yet several Democratic presidential candidates – including Sens. Cory Booker of New Jersey, Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, Kamala Harris of California, Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts – have endorsed the Green New Deal resolution.

But the Green New Deal is far more ambitious – and unrealistic – than Roosevelt's New Deal. Instead of creating jobs, as the New Deal did, the Green New Deal would destroy them. And instead of lifting America out of a Great Depression, the Green New Deal would likely plunge us into one.

Among many other radical steps, the Green New Deal would eliminate nearly all fossil fuels in the United States in just 10 years. It would require every building in the United States – including every home – to be retrofitted for energy efficiency.

The Green New Deal would require cattle to be eliminated because the gas they emit speeds up climate change. High speed trains would replace air travel. Everyone would be given a guaranteed income, even if they were able-bodied but too lazy to work.

And the trillions and trillions of dollars needed to pay for all this would come from sky-high taxes and by printing a virtually endless supply of money.

All that's missing from the resolution is a requirement to change the name of our country to the People's Republic of La-la Land and to add a bust of Karl Marx onto Mount Rushmore.
