A one trillion dollar price tag is also just the starting point for the Green New Deal, which involves moving the United States to an alternative energy grid over the next 20 years at a cost of more than $5 trillion. The Medicare for All provision that Democrats seem to desperately want included in any “deal” inked after the first of the year, is estimated to cost more than $32 trillion — and that’s just to start.
