Except the situation they're describing is a multi-generational one and they're trying to do what's for the greater good over time, which is ironically what the more short-sighted "blue no matter who" people accuse them of not doing. Sometimes things need to be permitted to get worse before they can get better. You can't just follow a simple greedy algorithm of taking the best possible move at every point with respect to the next state of the game. This algorithm is very easily gamed to lead to bad situations.
