Ironically, the GND highlights why, as Obama put it, "there’s no such thing as shovel-ready projects." [1] In a nuthsell, environmental regulations and activism make large public works projects nigh impossible. What's surprising is mostly that this is even a surprise. If environmentalists have been clear on anything, they've been clear that they don't like massive concrete and steel structures. It blows my mind that the Dems are going to try this again, when they're getting the mailers from Sierra Club promising to tie up these public works projects in court for 20 years.
