Claim: Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders said that his radical Green New Deal scheme would create 20 million jobs. Verdict: False. Although Sanders has been touting this 20 million figure for months, there is no evidence that the vast changes to the American economy his plan entails would actually add more jobs than it would subtract. While some new jobs would be created to shift America’s economy toward renewable energy, many jobs would also be eliminated.

Decoding the Bernie-speak on this:
The government will be the sole employer, guaranteeing everybody a job with a living wage, and using that wage to pay for itself through taxes. Anybody without a job will get a shiny, new government job. So the 20 million who will lose their jobs because of the GND will get [crappy] government jobs. Voila -- 20 million jobs created by our new Party Jobs Committee.

This must be Dyslexia Occasionally-Cognizant math. Unless my clcualtor's broke that's (16T / 20M) $800,000 per job.
Why not create 200 million jobs and pay everyone 80K ?

promising job growth has had a long tradition in American presidential politics.
Hubert Horatio Humphrey, in 1968, was going to create 'meaningful' jobs. He never explained what a meaningful job was.
last night, Old Jo biden (who looked so frail, I worried that he would collapse on the stage) said he would create 50 dollar per hour jobs. If you don't have math skills, that is about 104,000 dollars a year. He didn't really say how he would do that.
Cherokee Lizzie, who I will call Crazy Cherokee Lizzie, didn't say much about jobs.

The Green New Deal would probably destroy over 20 million jobs. The economy would be so hobbled and slowed down. There wouldn't be enough jobs for everyone.

Democrats create jobs by adding to the government payrolls do nothing jobs and at high salaries. GNP drops because the government produces nothing but micromanagement of everyone's life. I am tired of microaggressions from the Democrats.

Sure, it will create 20 million NEW jobs for leftist idiots, but destroy 50+ million existing jobs for normal working stiffs in the process. He lies by omission, which I am certain is painfully obvious to anyone with two brain cells to rub together.

There is an anecdote, usually attributed to Milton Friedman, of a visit to a worksite in China where a canal or a dam was being hand dug by hundreds of workers with shovels — no modern earth-moving machines. When asked why no heavy equipment was being used, the foreman explained that it was a jobs program, employing lots of people. The inquiring party suggested that if that was the case, why not give them spoons to dig with, thereby employing hundreds or thousands more.
These are the kinds of jobs Bernie’s programs would create — digging holes with teaspoons.

Sanders is a communist, not a socialist. He won't say so because he knows it would sink him before the next debate. In fact, Sanders is what we used to call a ''DRPCB'' (dirty rotten pinko commie bas##rd!)

I have no doubt that he told the entire truth. It will probably take 20 million new government bureaucrats to oversee all the new government control of every aspect of our lives by the new Soviet Socialist Republic of the United Socialist States
Well, new government bureaucrats and brown shirt gestapo-like thugs to take away our guns and ship us off to "re-education" camps!!!!!!
I really wish I was exaggerating...
