Perhaps one of the most famous make work projects of the FDR years was the Civilian Construction Corp. One cynical veteran of that program told he thanked the Lord that it became unnecessary and was shut down. I can't remember the exact wording but he said they regularly said the FDR prayer. "Our Father who art in Washington....
One problem with government make work projects is that they can become permanent. In Japan the central government slotted money for construction projects in rural provinces to keep that money flowing the provincial leadership had to keep coming up with projects. The results are that the primary job occupation the provinces is not farming ,manufacturing, or tourism but working for the construction companies. Also they were cutting the tops down to fill the valleys, damning every trickle of water they can find, and lining everything in between the damns with concrete beds. They've got roads to nowhere that have spider webs across them because of lack of traffic. As for tourism the scenery is pretty much encased in concrete. It is a pretty scam between construction companies, the central government, and the rural governments. I forgot the Yakuza is in with the construction companies as facilitators also. The tax paying voters on the other hand.....
The EPA sign money would have been better spent printing tee shirts with "I am a job killing bureaucrat" for each EPA employee.
I would prefer "asshole and parasite" instead of "bureaucrat", but we want them to wear the tee shirt, after all.

Ah yes that feeling of being nibbled to death by ducks, only they aren't ducks but knee walking turkeys, who poop over everything, squawk at you, peck at you, and don't have the brains to leave you alone, and yet expect us to feed and water them. We may be having an early Thanksgiving this year. We may have to compost the leftovers though.

Come out to Jersey some time. Towns give huge breaks to developers to erect strip malls, promising extra revenue, that are later unaffordable due to taxes. Route 95/NJTP is one of the heaviest traveled roads in the country, The only problem is money is spent on BS work in lighter traveled areas than those which need it. Can't have dem supporters...I mean union workers do too much.
