God Bless America (John McWhorter & Glenn Loury)

[DenvilleSteve]

the reason a WPA style jobs program will never happen is because government workers and contractors, the ones who would have to compete against the WPA workers, would object.

The reason WPA jobs would not help the economy is because the goods and services produced by the WPA workers would, almost by definition, not be goods and services in demand by consumers.
