Former Starbucks CEO and potential presidential candidate Howard Schultz says 'Green New Deal' proposal is just trying to solve 'one extreme with another'

Howard Schultz, former Starbucks CEO and a potential 2020 independent presidential candidate, issued a strong rebuke to both Democrats and Republicans on Saturday, including taking a swipe at freshman Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s ambitious new climate change initiative.

Schultz’s rhetoric on Democrats “moving toward a level of socialism” was reminiscent to that of Republicans, who point to presidential candidates such as Elizabeth Warren and self-described democratic socialist Bernie Sanders as examples of a rising socialist wing in the Democratic Party. Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal, promising to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions within 10 years, provides a stimulus package to create jobs, “upgrade or replace every building in the U.S. for state-of-the-art energy efficiency,” and overhaul America’s transportation system, is something Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will soon test 2020 Democratic presidential candidates on when he puts the legislation up for a vote.

"Some people are like, 'Oh, it's unrealistic, oh it's fake, oh it doesn't address this little minute thing," Ocasio-Cortez said."And I'm like, 'You try! You do it. Cause you're not. Cause you're not. So, until you do it, I'm the boss. How 'bout that?"' “We are in a place where you can send a tweet about anything… and become a celebrity,” he said. “But that’s not going to solve the issues we are facing.”
