Green New Deal makes sense to children and others that don't know basic economics. It certainly would curtail CO2 emissions because that's what living in poverty and dying does.
Nobody needs subsidies for college. The whole reason it inflated in price at multiple times the inflation rate is because of subsidies. If people want to be doctors, they can take out loans like everyone else, or earn a scholarship from someone donating the money.
Post-secondary education needs an overhaul anyhow. Why do people need fancy buildings to meet? Why do they need expensive professors to repeat the same lectures every quarter? Internet is already a superior learning tool. Pay the top professor in an area to give the lecture 1 time and record it. Provide that lecture dirt cheap to whoever wants to watch it.
The only reason someone would need to meet in a building is to take an exam.
People don't have the right to live in the place they desire. If it's unaffordable, they either need to take on roommates to afford it, or move to a less expensive place. Every government intervention that attempts to address housing affordability makes the situation worse, much worse.
Xist- Just realized you posted all this in the Tesla thread, which I'm not sure what has to do with anything.
