Green New Deal is unworkable and unaffordable

The Green New Deal would drive a stake through the heart of our nation’s strong, healthy and growing economy.

Since passing tax reform, the economy has  added 3 million new jobs.

Americans’  paychecks are growing, and there are a record  7.3 million available jobs across the country. But the Green New Deal would slam the brakes on our momentum.

The cost is staggering. An  analysis found that if fully implemented, the proposal would cost up to $93 trillion over the next decade. That’s more than 90 percent of the combined wealth of all American households. It would cost every American family as much as $65,000 per year — more than the average household makes in a year.

One of the key tenets of this proposal is a mandate to move to 100 percent renewable energy. Doing so would eliminate abundant, affordable and reliable energy that currently powers three out of five U.S. homes.
