Haaland's Permian Poison: Green Dreams, Blue-Collar Nightmares

Deb Haaland's "Affordability Agenda" is a Green New Deal fever dream that would kneecap New Mexico's Permian Basin—the economic engine powering 25.9% of our private sector GDP with just 9.2% of our population—and leave blue-collar workers footing the bill for handouts alone. reddit

The "Affordability" Farce

Haaland wants to jack minimum wage to $14.50, ban "rental price fixing," crack down on "predatory lending," and pump taxpayer dollars into child tax credits and housing subsidies. She promises "lower utility costs" by doubling down on renewables to make New Mexico the "energy capital"—as if windmills can replace the Permian's $100 billion contribution and 854,000 jobs. issues

This is the same Interior Secretary who cheered Biden's oil-lease moratoriums, trashed drillers as "unchecked," and backed the Green New Deal trillion-dollar boondoggle. Now she pitches regulation strangling small landlords and lenders, wage hikes killing entry-level jobs, and "bold green investments" our oil-patch economy can't afford. jstor

New Mexico's roughnecks, truckers, and rig hands built this boom. Haaland's plan? Hand your tax dollars to immigrants and subsidize salsa kitchens while taxing energy into oblivion—that's 18.2 billion in state taxes from Permian families funding Sacramento Michelle's handouts.

Her "cut housing red tape" hides short-term rental crackdowns and renewable mandates spiking construction costs and utility bills. Roughnecks get pink slips when D.C. green zealots choke the Basin. Don't fall for the weak "everyone's a victim in New Mexico and these programs will solve them" pitch. It's just a scam to take your money and hand it out to those that don't contribute a dime to our great State.
