The WPA was not entirely real employment. It was quite a bit like the current printed-out-of-thin-air $600 payments for sitting on your ass with a lot of digging a hole and filling it back up thrown in to ease the primitive sensibilities of better people 100 years ago. They built a few things, some of which needed building but lots of which did not. But the government "borrowed" money and gave it to people, and there was a smell attached to it even then. You like that smell, don't you?
And we're still waiting for your definition of "right-wing," since myself and Cuomo are apparently both guilty.
