Radical left-wing Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is now demanding that taxpayers foot the bill to hire millions of so-called ‘climate activists.’

These ‘climate activists’ would essentially serve the role of glorified hall monitors who would be tasked with lecturing Americans about climate change.

As Americans for Tax Reform reports:

Progressive lawmakers, led by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.),  rolled out an expanded form of the Green New Deal on Tuesday that includes funding to hire 1.5 million uniformed climate activists to serve in the “Civilian Climate Corps.” The hall monitors of the Green New Deal…

The creation of a Civilian Climate Corps (CCC) was also included in Joe Biden’s proposed $2.25 trillion “infrastructure” spending plan which included $10 billion in taxpayer dollars to create the CCC  with the vague mission of “advancing environmental justice.” Today’s inclusion of the CCC in the rollout of the Green New Deal provides further insight into Democrats’ vision of the program…

While offering zero details on the cost of the CCC, Ocasio-Cortez claims that the taxpayer-funded program will employ “1.5 million Americans over 5 years.” That’s 1.5 million professional environmental activists in uniform lecturing Americans about their contribution to climate change and how they need to change their lives, all while living on the taxpayer’s dime.

According to generous estimates from environmental economists openly supporting the creation of the CCC, Biden’s $10 billion plan would only be sufficient to hire 200,000 “climate workers” spread over 8 years. Ocasio-Cortez’s claim that her version of the CCC would create 7.5 times this number over a shorter time frame would necessitate far greater spending than Biden’s proposed $10 billion for the CCC.

  1. I got a demand for you Cortez and those who support this idea. I demand you to pay it since you want this bogus idea. You and the democracts have the money for this so you pay it Cortez. Tired of Cortez telling us what we should pay into something that is bogus.

    1. You pay for it, this is your stupid idea!!! The Sun is getting larger every day, solar missions prove this, and our space telescopes!!! So get over it!!! It’s the way of the universe!!!

    2. I agree. This card carrying socialist is freaking crazy.
      BTW I heard she lives quite well and high end in DC. Any comments?

    3. AOC is just another version of Kameltoe Harris. They are both very demanding and they are both bare faced LIARS!!! They don’t their buttons from a hole in the ground. They have both become millionaires from our tax payer dollars. They are totally disgusting monstrous people, if you can call them people!

  2. Democrats and bigger government, all built on the backs of the American taxpayer. Surprise, surprise, surprise (sarc).

    1. I’m afraid all us older tax payer backs are about to break down and then what are the morons going to do? I would quite working and go on welfare. The problem is I’m not black, a druggie, an illegal, or some other weird type that doesn’t know what restroom to use or sports teams to be on. Crying how miss understood and bad childhood I had. I’m just an older self employed WHITE GUY who gives a dam about this country and the shit hole it’s becoming. Where’s the SANTI-FLUSH and a big brush before it’s over.

    1. Fantastic post goes right to the heart of the matter. The bar maid wants us to believe she has the intelligence to do the job.

          1. Learning skills that fit right in with Congress and being a political hack.

      1. Where she is from they must think so as they reelected her. If she is at the top of the pile in her area they are in DEEP Trouble. Just wish she would stay there and quite trying to drag the rest of us into the Cess pool with her.

    1. Only if she ask you about a drink you ordered. As far as politics–ask a different rock to see if they agree with her.

  3. Do the other Democrats in the house realize this woman is a nut? Her mouth should be taped shut until she’s out of office!

  4. How do we rid ourselves of these pontificating parasites? I have so had it with their arrogant, quasi-religious, condescending BS. ENOUGH! GET THE F OUT AND TRY IT WITH YOUR OWN $

  5. Hey, AOC dunce you’re so for this idacy, you pay for it. Climates change because it’s natural nor because of your totally off the wall ideas. Get a clue we taxpayers are tired of paying for your dumb ideas.

  6. If she wants that, I suggest that she leave Congress to start her own consulting/activist company so that she can pay these individuals as her employees. Since the “Climate” industry is supposed to create an explosion of jobs according to Kerry, she’d be well positioned to make a killing. As for my tax dollars being wasted on such hokum, I say a resounding NO!

  7. Absolutely Obtuse Cortez (AOC) is an economic nitwit and a nut!

    Markey is Democrap hack, who should have been put out to pasture years ago, as should have been sleepy Joe Biden!

    Democraps want to throw trillions of US taxpayers dollars down a climate change rathole!

  8. AOC. No way. No how. Keep pushing until we push back. You won’t like the push. It’s more like a kick in your butt. Get out. Go away.

  9. All of these idiots just want to hear themselves talk…It’s noise….How much noise can we make to distract from the mess we have created under Biden and Harris…AOC should open a bar and get to it…Leave politics to intelligent and caring people….

  10. I have a degree in Environmental Studies and I almost can’t believe this woman is that stupid. I’m all in favor of helping fix things in the environment. What she doesn’t or can’t understand is that it can’t be done overnight and her proposal is way beyond ridiculous. 400 years of using fossil fuels (we started with coal, no oil until 1859) cannot be instantly stopped without efficient, economical alternatives and their are no methods alone or in combination that can meet this country’s demand for energy. It’s going to take decades to get there. This is typical of Democrat thinking – another way to keep us in the dark. She’s gotta go.

    1. You Jack you are correct. I explain it this way. Draw two upside down pyramids. At the very bottom of one put the energy source, solar, wind. At the bottom of the other put oil/coal. Within the pyramid, list all things that can be produced. I can fill the great pyramid with the oil/coal and products. The greenie can’t even start to list any product. Why, you say? Because all green energy machines require oil/rare earth minerals to manufacture, transport, and maintain.
      Next, there are no recycling systems in place for expended solar panels. Highly toxic materials in the panels. They
      The wind generators you see across the landscape frozen in place are to expensive to repair.

  11. I demand our tax money no longer pay her salary. She is a complete moron. Doesn’t have sense enough to run a lemonade stand. She a embarrassment. Along with the other liberal democrats that spend money and line their pockets. Enough is enough. WTF America. Life to short. We allowing our country to be over in by criminals. You feel sorry for them. Go to their countries and save them. Our kids future is being ruined by these pathetic parasites in government. Corruption right out in open. Vilifying Americans for loving their country and following constitution.

  12. GREAT IDEA; DEFUND aoc, swalwell, schumer, harris, pelosi, nadler, mayorkas, hell, ALL OF bidens COMMUNIST PARTIES. I think people MAY BE finally opening their eyes!!! AMERICAN people are NOT AS STUPID, as biden,harris communist regime thinks!!! biden is moving so fast to rid America of PRESIDENT TRUMP’S policies, THAT WERE WORKING!!! 57 EO in less than 60 day’s, when campaigning biden said you can’t run the presidency by executive orders ALONE, it would make you a COMMUNIST, his word’s!!!! So you freaking commie, WE ARE COMING FOR YOU!!! YOU ARE A SHIT STAIN biden, and you STINK!!!!

  13. I’m trying to figure out if Alexandria Disconnected-Cortex is just bat-shit crazy, or on some really powerful, nasty drugs. Her suggestions get more hair-brained by the day.

  14. she needs to go back to that bar she came from and stay there she a dum one a ant has more brains that this liberal donkey.

  15. AOC it is time you and your relative Heraldo Cortez pay reparations for to the Central Americans for genocide of the Aztecs.
    Cortez = Cortez. You are a direct dependent.

  16. Idiots in One little tiny part of the country voted that AOC dipshit to represent them. No one else in the country wants to hear what the hell she wants.

  17. THIS is a JOB for SNOWFLAKES IF I EVER SEEN ONE. Take up my time telling me BS so I can pay for all this INSANTY. If this isn’t a WELFARE program there never was one. Why would I need someone to tell me the SKY is BLUE, Rain falls down, Snow is frozen rain. I have a WEATHER ROCK that works just fine at a hell of a lot cheaper price tag. When not interested it just hangs around holding the fence down. HOW THE HELL DO THESE PEOPLE GET ELECTED TO CONGRESS WHEN THEY CAN’T FIND THEIR ASS WITH BOTH HANDS?
    Barely able or smart enough to TURN a DOOR KNOB! If this is the cream of the crop in this country. I don’t want to see the other end of the scale. GOOD GRIEF, CHARILE BROWN!

  18. Only someone in government could come up with the idea to pay people for something they are already doing for free. We have quite enough “Gretas”
    out there now.
    Go away, little girl, you annoy me.

  19. It’s the democrat way. They want big expensive programs, paid for by hardworking taxpayers, so the politicians and their friends get rich of schemes that don’t work but make them wealthy and have power over the people. So she wants taxpayers to pay for a bunch of activists to go around the country lecturing us on how great this scam is. Sounds like something out of Nazi Germany! But for this huge expense, they produce absolutely nothing, contribute nothing of value to the country. We would be paying for hot air!

  20. *******I STRONGLY SUGGEST TWO THINGS: REDUCE THE LEECHINGS AND OVERABUNDANT WASTES OF FUNDS THAT FOREVER THRU APOLITICAL HEADS LIFETIMES PAY INTO THEIR RIDICULOUS LEECHING LOUSE BLOOD SUCKING SALARIES TO WHICH EVEN UPON RETIREMENT WE STILL PAY THEIR ONGOING SALARIES FOR NOT DOING ACTUAL WORK! SECONDLY THESE PEOPLE, IF THEY WERE NOT ILLEGITIMATE “PLACEMENTS” INTO THEIR POSITIONS HAVE BEEN HIRED WITH A JOB TO DO AND HOW OUR MONIES SHOULD BE SPENT THRU OUR “APPROVED” TAXATION. I DEEM IT NECESSANT, DUE TO THERE BEING BOTH MULTIPLE BREECHINGS OF CONTRACTS AND DRAIN AND HEMORRAGE TO THE MONIES WE HAVE PLACED THEM RESPONSIBLE FOR, MUST BE RELEASED OF ALL SUCH DUTIES AND FINALIZED BOTH THEIR JOBS AND US AS EMPLOYER HAVE COME TO TERMS WITH HAVING TO TERMINATE OUR EMPLOYEE/EMPLOYER CONTRACTUAL AND STOP PAYING FEDERAL TAXES UNTIL SUCH REPLACEMENT AND RESOLVE TO FIT SUCH CONTRACTUAL POSITION! side note: This, may carry over into State Contractuals if deemed necessary.*******
    I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE.
