The real problem with the New Deal regime (actually the Great Society regime; the earlier version of the New Deal might have been sustainable) was that the demands on government resources ran ahead of government revenue, leading to the Great Inflation of the 1970s. Subsequent policy, technology, and globalization suppressed the Great Inflation in most areas of the economy, but it continued apace in the areas of housing , health care, child care, and tuition; this is when one income no longer became “enough.”
This BradBot stuff is wickedly fascinating to me.

"the point is for it to create good jobs at good wages in a key general-purpose technology industry"
Wouldn't loosening "environmental" rules (or rather insisting that the rules pass a C-B analysis) contribute to that objective.
