Reply #1: Why no WPA today? [View All]

I wish someone would explain why the federal government has not set up a WPA today where projects could be done that need to be done (and there are many), and these projects would benefit generations to come (as WPA did before) and it would be far better for the unemployed. The pay could be increased above unemployment benefits.

Instead of just handing out money and going deeper into debt for future generations why aren't trying to improve the country at the same time?

As a side question why doesn't the government encourage savings or war bonds that paid a decent interest as they used to? I think I know the answer to that which is the Federal Reserve wants the public putting their money into the casino of Wall Street.
