Left-wing group linked to AOC pressures Biden to remake economy

A left-wing group with ties to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is pressuring President-elect Joe Biden to use executive orders for liberal policies to revive the economy — including the Green New Deal — when he takes control of the White House in January.

New Consensus sent Biden a seven-page manifesto Wednesday suggesting that he become the Franklin Delano Roosevelt of the 21st Century, mobilizing the massive government machinery at his disposal to fix the nation’s creaky infrastructure and limping manufacturing sectors amid the coronavirus pandemic while creating sustainable jobs of the future.

New Consensus was founded by Saika Chakrabarti, who served as Ocasio-Cortez’s controversial campaign manager for her initial run for office and as her first chief of staff in Congress. The brash-talking former confidante left AOC’s office amid claims he skirted campaign fundraising rules.

The group’s press spokesman, Corbin Trent, was formerly AOC’s communications director for her congressional office and initial campaign.

The group’s manifesto calls on Biden to tap the Federal Reserve to provide trillions of dollars in low-interest loans directly to businesses and projects. They noted that former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama leaned on the Fed to lend trillions to banks during the 2008 financial recession.

The group said Biden should require the Fed to return to its mission of developing the US economy by empowering regional regional banks to invest in their local economies.

Of course, we know that the Fed and those banks (which will end up being big banks) will only be allowed to give certain groups certain loans for certain things

In order to prevent the money from being misused for speculative trading or stock buybacks, the plan recommends the next president create a National Development Council that would be tasked with setting criteria for sound investments and turning Biden’s Build Back Better program into reality.

See?

Biden could use his executive authority to direct funding to build new mask factories to address COVID-19 and steer money into the auto industry to convert to 100 percent electric cars while building the charging stations necessary to make the choice possible, New Consensus said.

I don’t think we have a problem with companies, small to big, turning out masks at this point. They’re everywhere. People don’t really want 100 percent electric cars. Will we be forced to drive them?

A release summarizing the manifesto said of Biden: “He could upgrade millions of homes to be more energy efficient. He could make sure small businesses in every single Congressional district throughout the country get access to the capital they need to thrive.

Didn’t they try that with the Stimulus while Biden was VP and in charge of making sure the Stimulus ran correctly? And it failed?

The manifesto calls on Biden to help “scale up” the green industries of today and tomorrow evenly across all regions of the country– including solar panels, wind-turbine generators and 6G networks, life-extension and space exploration, among others.

6G? 5G hasn’t even been fully developed. Will the Government control 6G?

The New Census memo is yet another example that activists and thinkers on the left intend to hold Biden accountable for his campaign promises. Ocasio-Cortez and other progressives are holding Biden’s feet to the fire on cabinet hires.

Joe might be too busy fending off the leftwing nuts to actually get anything done. If he does surrender, he can easily kiss the House goodbye in 2022, and it will destroy any talk of “unity.”
