Sen. Warren is taking Democratic efforts to combat climate change over the top. Lieawatha is releasing a plan to combat “environmental racism.” Now you are probably wondering what environmental racism is. The short answer is ignorance.
The plan
Lieawatha’s plan is to waste $1.5 trillion. She wants to have the government make slums. That is a translation of her term “low-income and minority communities.” The balance would be squandered. She plans to be determined job-training programs and technologies. Don’t worry, Solyndra promises to get it right this time. Lieawatha guarantees it with your money.
According to Lieawatha’s plan, “Our crisis of environmental injustice is the result of decades of discrimination and environmental racism compounding in communities that have been overlooked for too long… The same communities that have borne the brunt of industrial pollution are now on the front lines of climate change, often getting hit first and worst… result of multiple choices that put corporate profits before people, while our government looked the other way… It is unacceptable, and it must change.”
So Lieawatha is promising us the end of the rainbow for the price of a song. This crazy socialist should be writing Harry Potter books. She should not running for the presidency on a major party ticket. The senator’s plan calls for improving equity mapping of marginalized communities. How is mapping equity going to change the climate? Think about it?
The endless pandering
But Lieawatha thinks we need to do so. In order to better identify climate risk damage from increasingly intense weather. No really that’s what she’s saying. This is not a parody. The words are hers not mine.
Warren would mandate all federal agencies consider climate impacts in developing rules. She would restore WOTUS. The plan also instructs the EPA and DoJ to enhance enforcement… Lieawatha’s plan would apply to communities on coasts. Anywhere one might be threatened by storm surge and sea-level rise. Yup government is responsible for weather. And it will save you from the bogey man too.
We are going to govern ourselves based on wildfires and flooding. It would force people out of flood-prone properties. The plan transforms post-disaster housing assistance to better protect renters. Her words not mine. Owners will just lose and become renters. We are supposed to give up our property rights for a promise of protection.
Bigger government
Warren picks winners and losers for the government. There are several areas where she is dangling money for votes. The distribution will be based on her view of comparative pollution and health problems. There will be a lot of prose about linkage to toxic runoff.
The Lieawatha plan would provide job training. That’s the buzz word to ring the bell for free money. The Lieawatha plan provides guaranteed wage and benefit parity for fossil fuel workers. Oh did we forget to mention fossil fuels are going away? Can you say Green New Deal? If you destroy the economy how is anyone going to be transitioning into other industries? What will they be?
Oh but Lieawatha is also guaranteeing pensions and early benefits for those who retire. Don’t worry there’s no explanation where the money is coming from for this. Just take it on faith. Big government is going to take dam good care of you.
Conclusion
They’ll see you get everything you so richly deserve if you buy this male bovine excrement. Lieawatha wants to combat environmental Racism by spending on making slums, buying votes, and promising big government will protect you from the bogey man. We are running trillion-dollar deficits now and this loon wants to spend 50% more than we are taking in without so much as a how do you do to paying for it. Good luck with that.
