And that's exactly what the WPA was. It was makework political shite.
Several buildings exist on the LSU campus, and many hundreds in productive use exist elsewhere, because of the WPA. So where are you getting this "makework" nonsense?
In a country where roads and bridges are crumbling I'd hardly worry about people being employed to do unnecessary things. And we no longer employ a WPA model, anyway. Stimulus money for public works is contracted out to private enterprise.
