Ocasio-Cortez admits how much her 'Green New Deal' will cost — the number is startling

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) admitted how much it would cost to get 

started on her audacious "Green New Deal" to combat global warming, and the 

number is startlingly high.

"I think we really need to get to $10 trillion to have a shot," Ocasio-Cortez said in 

response to the question from The Hill on Wednesday.

The socialist democrat has touted her plan despite the Democratic leadership 

ignoring it and even openly mocking it. Democrats have drawn up their own plan to 

tackle global warming.

"I know it's a ton," she added in her statement. "I don't think anyone wants to spend 

that amount of money, it's not a fun number to say, I'm not excited to say we need to 

spend $10 trillion on climate, but... it's just the fact of the scenario."

Ocasio-Cortez also faced ridicule and mockery after she released a FAQ document 

on her website that included many outrageous policies that she was proposing under 

the Green New Deal. The document was later deleted from her website.

"It's not popular," said Ocasio-Cortez of the cost of fighting climate change, "it's not 

politically popular. People are going to call it unrealistic, and I just don't think people 

understand how bad the problem is."

The upstart freshman member of Congress was previously mocked for trying to 

explain how to easily pay for Medicare-For-All, and employing very bad arithmetic 

to do it.
