Exactly what the Republicans are going to say, no matter who we nominate.

Just to let you know this is not some fantasy scenario I've dreamed up:


2020 election: Joe Biden's climate change revolution plan shows he's not moderate material

It has only been weeks since Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez chided former Vice President Joe Biden for embracing “middle of the road” climate policies. He not only heard her but quickly fell in line. In his rush to appease the new generation of Democrats for whom he is completely out of touch, he streamlined the process by copying entire passages from other, more AOC-aligned groups without proper citation.

This is not the first time his penchant for plagiarism has been revealed, but it is the first time his lurch to the left has been so blatant. This plan will no doubt make it more difficult for Biden to maintain his brand of moderate Uncle Joe, but more important, it would be disastrous for America’s working-class families.

Channeling the Green New Deal, Biden’s $1.7 trillion “Clean Energy Revolution” would raise taxes, send energy costs sky high and kill millions of good-paying jobs. The central piece of it, achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, would have little effect on the climate.

Kudos to Biden for seeing that Bernie and Warren are blazing a trail for him to follow. Hopefully, he adopts more of their amazing proposals.

It will with Sanders, since he's used it himself, and it probably will with Warren because she's copied so many of Sanders' proposals.

And whoever our nominee is, once elected they'll have to get legislation through Congress. Biden's education plan has a much better chance of passing.

That is me including VKP and two years of trade school or college.

That is sixteen years of tax funded education.

To be clear. We have to actually fund education. It's currently underfunded. It also doesn't include the need for tax payer funded education as sectors fail and jobs move. We must be ahead of the curve on that. It also doesn't include tax funded child care during the day. We need to increase funding in that area and help more people to be successful.

But I think sixteen years of tax funded education is a good place to be.

and mandating that all undergraduates stay in dorms and use a high quality campus meal service (that must be good and low cost, providing three meals per day). Since housing and food makes up the lion's share of student expenditures, this procedure would dramatically reduce costs after the initial dorm building phase. Rich kids whose parents could afford to house them off campus and feed them fancy meals would also have to stay in dorms as undergrads. Fraternities and Sororities should be allowed to continue, but each pledge must be vetted to insure the Greeks are not circumventing the goal of having a university-wide class-free undergraduate experience.

Dorms and campus owned housing would be available for graduate and professional school students, but those students could chose to live in private housing and provide their own meal arrangements. Graduate students would also be able to get expanded teaching assistant and tutor jobs to provide some income while they complete their graduate coursework.
