It's a proposal; it can be negotiated and changed until it becomes law. The main purpose is:

a) Help give future generations a reasonably livable and enjoyable planet. b) Help Americans by creating jobs.

OK sure, but if you want words to mean something, you can't just define "green new deal" as "all the good things" instead of the current proposal.

I mean you can also say all code written by developers for for-profit companies exists to create revenue.

Both are true yet incomplete statements.
