MI HR0041

Opposes the Green New Deal as outlined in U.S. House Resolution 109 and U.S. Senate Resolution 59, which calls for eliminating greenhouse gas emissions through public works projects and federal regulation.

Objects to the Green New Deal's social provisions, including providing basic income for able-bodied adults unwilling to work, characterizing them as contrary to traditional American principles.

Argues the Green New Deal's estimated cost of up to $93 trillion over 10 years would require crippling new taxes and debt while harming trucking, automobile, and agriculture industries and putting jobs at risk.

Claims the Green New Deal would stifle economic development by relying on federal regulation instead of market forces, increasing costs for consumers and reducing employee wages.

Encourages national leaders to pursue smarter evidence-based regulatory practices and directs copies of the resolution be sent to the President, Speaker of the House, and Michigan congressional delegation.
