Well, there's merit to the idea of a gov't program even if you're kinda sorta against it. As it is now, people are defaulting to a de facto living wage from a program designed for something else because their options are few to none. Something like WPA would allow us to address the problem of our country's infrastructure and put money in people's pockets in exchange for honest work, if nothing else.

It's completely unlikely anyway. We're barely hanging on to some of the existing meager social benefits in this political climate, let alone creating new benefits.
