Biden willing to 'sacrifice' high paying jobs in energy to push Big Green agenda
Monica Showalter:
Salena Zito actually understates the cumulative effect of job losses. For example, in Texas, those good-paying jobs lead to the purchases of houses and other consumer goods such as cars and trucks.
Without jobs, those people will not be able to pay mortgage payments or auto payments leading to not only foreclosure of houses and autos but also a crash in the market as more of those homes are repossessed by financial institutions which put those businesses at risk too as well as people who will be stuck with high mortgages while the market collapses for reselling their home. It would in effect suck all the equity out of those homes and lead to another housing crash.
It would be a mistake for any Texan to vote for Democrats and their Green New Deal. The same would be true in every oil-producing state.
According to Joe Biden, who laid out his plans at Thursday's Democratic debate, you're supposedly glad to give up your blue-collar job for the "greater good" of halting climate change. You're the problem, not he. Not his son with his big-dollar no-show jobs. Just you. You're supposed to want one of those "opportunities" he promises to have out there instead of your actual paycheck job. Or if you don't, you're going to get them good and hard from him anyway. Would Biden really be willing to throw America's blue-collar oil and gas workers out of work because...global warming?

I wrote about it earlier, but something interesting's come up from Charles Payne of Fox News:
Turns out those targeted jobs Joe's so anxious to sacrifice for you are the highest paid in America. They're the most credible leg up into the middle class for poor and working-class people. So for all Biden's pious talk about "raising the middle class," and "growing the middle class," the jobs he's planning on scrapping in favor of low-wage retail and customer service jobs are the very ones that pay people decent money. It's not even high–energy content jobs he's targeting; it's high-paying jobs. Can't have the little people running around and making money, which is effectively what his attack on people with decent-paying jobs means.
It goes to show how little this fool knows about how economies work, or how jobs become good-paying jobs.
What's more, even from his own point of view, it was an amazingly stupid thing to say. Here's the reaction to that Vow to Impoverish with empty "opportunities" coming from Salena Zito:
That “yes” is going to haunt Biden throughout his run if he gets the nomination— what the anti-shale Democrats do not understand is it’s not just a blue-collar workers jobs they will sacrifice it’s geologists and engineers and chemists and IT jobs that would also disappear. twitter.com/oilfield_willy…
