"The problem isn't that none of the Green New Deal's goals can be achieved. The problem is that only HALF of these goals can be achieved..." Bonus #QotD

Today's Bonus Quote of the Day comes from Robert Tracinski's latest newsletter, on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's modern-day Morgenthau Plan, aka her so-called "Green New Deal":

The problem isn’t that none of the Green New Deal’s goals can be achieved. The problem is that only half of these goals can be achieved. We can’t build high-speed rail everywhere, but we can abolish air travel. We can’t power the whole economy on “renewable energy,” but we can shut down existing power plants. We can’t give everyone a “family-sustaining wage,” but we can definitely kill cows and tell our kids there’s no more milk to drink. We can’t provide economic security for people who don’t want to work, but we can flood the country with billion-dollar bank notes that won’t buy anything. It is very hard to create, but very easy to destroy.
