Why not now? A better question is why at all. She wants to upgrade every single residential and commercial building in the United States for energy efficiency. The committee she wants to form would have near-total oversight over industry, mandated to push union membership. She wants a job guarantee program to ensure a "living-wage" job to everyone. And, just in passing, she'll also have universal income and Medicare for all.
This from someone who was a bartender 20 minutes ago.
She's out of her mind. I guess if you have no objection to vast expansions of government as long as your people are doing it, then...well I suppose that's about what I expect from progressives.
Meanwhile, there are many republicans (Rand Paul) support privatizing roadways, firefighting, water. Removing basically all regulations, etc. Yet, I see no bitching about how stupid they are from republicans. At least AOC's proposals have a good goal in mind other than making the rich much richer and everyone else subjects of the rich.
