The Green New Deal could push gas prices up to "$10-13".— Washington Examiner (@dcexaminer) July 12, 2019
An economist says that such a high tax “would destroy the economy”.https://t.co/rdOxBpBnfg
Right now pretty much everyone in the Democratic Presidential field is in favor of the New Green Deal. Some like Biden, Yang, and Castro have it centerpieced of their so called climate plans, while Sanders, Warren, Harris, Booker, Klobuchar, Gillibrand, are all co-sponsors of the New Green Deal in Congress.
It's pretty fair to say that most of middle America is skeptical, and if they believe it will do things like push gas prices north of $10/gallon, it will go over like a fart in church. Moreover, the fact that this is inherently tied to the 29 year old former waitress will make it look like seasoned people like Biden are simply following a bad political trend.
No good can possibly come from a Democrat pushing for $10/gallon gas prices.

Well there's at least one good, a second Trump administration. 😊😊

Labor Secretary Acosta Resigns Amid Pressure Over Epstein Prosecution
Acosta informed President Trump of decision Friday morning
Alexander Acosta is out as labor secretary, President Donald Trump told reporters Friday.
His resignation followed a wave of new information about the alleged crimes of accused child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, for whom Acosta helped broker a sweetheart plea deal more than a decade ago.
Trump said it was Acosta’s decision to step down. The president signaled his support for the labor secretary earlier this week, telling reporters he felt “very badly” for him “because I’ve known him as being somebody that works so hard and has done such a good job.”
“I feel very badly about that whole situation. But we’re going to be looking at that and looking at it very closely,” Trump said.
Acosta reiterated that point during a press conference on Wednesday, saying Trump “has publicly made clear that I’ve got his support.” He also defended the Epstein deal, saying, “We believe that we proceeded appropriately.”
Epstein was arrested when his private jet landed at a New Jersey airport July 6. He faces new charges, brought by the U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan, for allegedly recruiting and trafficking dozens of minors in New York and Florida between 2002 and 2005, then molesting and sexually abusing them.
The allegations are similar to those federal prosecutors in Miami brought in 2007 when Acosta, who was then a U.S. attorney, helped draft a nonprosecution agreement for Epstein without notifying his alleged victims. In February, a federal judge ruled that federal prosecutors, including Acosta, broke the law by signing the agreement
New Green Deal = Gas over $10/Gallon?
I wonder who will be the 1st Dem in the 2020 field to back away from the NGD?
No worries, I'm sure in all the fine print is the disclosure that all gas will be FREE under the NGD so no one will actually have to buy it.
@benpershing
Democrats are holding their 2020 nominating convention in the battleground state of Wisconsin, bringing 50,000 people to a region with fewer than 18,000 hotel rooms.
Hire some homeless consultants from California to help out. And change the law so all gas station restrooms are accessible without asking for a key.
And this party is actually going to field a presidential candidate???
Keeping America White as championed by our esteemed host and his minions......so sad as they go down in flames.....!!!

President Trump has surrendered in his quest to rig the 2020 Census, and his allies are beside themselves with grief. Axios reports they’re “stunned” by his cave. One GOP operative called it a “punch in the gut.”
This means Trump will have to signal he’s somehow keeping this battle alive. So Trump will issue an executive order directing agencies to provide the Commerce Department with information documenting the number of citizens and noncitizens in the United States.
To ensure that this count is accurate, Trump is vowing to “leave no stone unturned.”
But what is Trump really keeping up the fight for here, on behalf of GOP operatives and allies alike? The answer exposes the big, ugly lie at the core of the populist, nationalist story line Trump has fed his voters for years — and will continue to feed them heading into 2020.
It’s a lie about white power and privilege.
Trump’s remarks in the Rose Garden on Thursday have been widely ridiculed as dishonest and incoherent. But they merit a closer reading. Buried in them is a real statement of sorts — one that must be vigorously contested going forward.
Trump made three key points. First, Trump said, those who blocked the citizenship question are “determined to conceal the number of illegal aliens in our midst.” Second, he said, those same forces want to “erode the rights of the American citizen.”
