Biden Builds A Domestic Green Army At Real Army’s Expense

AOC Green New Deal rollout
Who says Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has no influence? Her vision to mobilize a government Climate Corps to promote green politics is becoming a reality. President Biden wants to shrink the real Army, but his budget includes more than $8 billion for a domestic green political army. [emphasis, links added]
The political model is FDR’s Civilian Conservation Corps, which paid Americans to work when nearly one in four were jobless.
The U.S. now has a labor shortage, but the Biden Administration wants to mobilize more than 20,000 initially for the Climate Corps—and some 50,000 by 2031.
Ms. Ocasio-Cortez and Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey want the Climate Corps to employ 1.5 million over five years.
