The Green New Deal's infrastructure ideals are laudable, but because it came from the far left of the Democratic party, it is also includes ideas like universal jobs, national health care, and some other stuff I don't remember right now, but don't have much to do with cleaner infrastructure. I happen to agree that we need a better national health care fix (I think most people agree with that in principal, but there are major disagreements on how to best provide everyone care), but that doesn't have a lot to do with greening our economy, nor does the idea of providing everyone a job (which simply isn't how the job market works). One thing I think I remember that is silly is the idea of doing away with air travel. More rail? Absolutely. In the place of shorter air routes? Yup. No air travel in a country our size? No way.
Anyway, it's the things like those that make the GND even a bad goal statement. Anyhoo...I think I'm going to jump back out of this thread before I get in over my head.
