Giant companies who like to call themselves "American" have one real loyalty: Their shareholders. They'll ship jobs overseas and hollow out our cities if it'll save them a nickel. For too long, Washington politicians have let them call the shots. But not on my watch.
My administration will boost American workers—and I've already got a plan for that. We'll start with a new federal agency with one mission: Defend & create American jobs. That agency will use aggressive new tools to boost American workers, not Wall Street. medium.com/@teamwarren/a-…
This is not a question of more or less government: It’s about who the government works for. And in the weeks ahead, I’ll be releasing more plans on how this vision of economic patriotism should shape our economy, from trade policy to Wall Street. Here's my first proposal:
With bold investments, we can fight climate change, achieve the ambitious targets of the Green New Deal, and create more than a million good jobs here at home. I have a plan to invest at least $2 trillion in green research, manufacturing, and exporting: medium.com/@teamwarren/my…
My green manufacturing plan has three parts. First: A Green Apollo Program, investing $400 billion in a National Institute of Clean Energy to invest in revolutionary clean energy tech. And I will require that production from this R&D takes place here in the U.S.—no excuses.
Second: a Green Industrial Mobilization. I'll commit $1.5 trillion to buy clean, renewable, and emission-free energy products, supporting only American companies who manufacture here at home and treat workers with respect, to boost demand and galvanize our clean energy industry.
Third, a Green Marshall Plan. The government will use all its tools to boost American industry and cut global emissions abroad. We will deploy U.S.-manufactured clean energy technology to every corner of the world, and I'll commit at least $100 billion to do it.
My green manufacturing plan rewards American companies who invest at home. It's funded by my Real Corporate Profits Tax on giant companies who try to dodge their fair share in taxes. It'll create 1M new jobs & make the U.S. the leader in the global fight against climate change.
