What if raising taxes on the super rich and their corporations funds a 21st century WPA?
WPA type projects are often big infrastructure projects, dams, power plants, wastewater plants, roads, bridges. Back in the 30's you could just build the damn things, with manual labor.
Today you require a more specialized work force, but that isnt the dealbreaker. The dealbreaker are all the new Environmental rules you have to meet, permits you have to file, studies you have to perform. Add in the fact that any idiot with access to a lawyer could sue to stop you, and it would take a decade to get these projects off the ground.
