SHOCKER: Here’s What Can You Buy for What in the Green New Deal
 Steven Ahle March 12, 2019

 
The estimated cost for the Green New Deal is 93 trillion dollars. What can that buy and would something else be more important that the GND ?  Mitch McConnell said that for the cost of the GND, the government could buy every single one of the 329 million people in America could get a Ferrari.

From check your fact

Claim 1: “For the comparatively cheap price of just $66 trillion, I’m told the government could buy every American a Ferrari.”

The Portofino, Ferrari’s entry-level car, starts at $214,533, according to Car and Driver magazine. Nearly 329 million people live in the U.S., though not all are of legal driving age. Buying a brand-new Portofino for every single American would cost around $70.5 trillion, slightly higher than McConnell’s $66 trillion estimates.

Claim 2: “$93 trillion is more than every dollar our federal government has spent in its entire history to date, combined.”

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
If you bought every American a Ferrari, they would self-eliminate at an astounding rate.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
