[quote=no_such_reality]I grew up in Minnesota, the WPA projects were visible in every single park, the local courthouse, other buildings, bridges, etc. Beautiful work, lasting work.
This is a simple staircase in a small park. It’s common to have the accompanying buildings match for a full day at the park. Firepits, open air dining lodge, restrooms, boatramps, parking. http://www.flickr.com/photos/casualcameracollector/4794196871/
Here’s a partial list of the how much they accomplished in the West with roughly half inflation adjusted dollars that we spent on the first bailout.

We should have a list 4X as big as the Berkley list. We need a list 4X as big as the Berkley list.

You might be confusing bailout and ARRA. They are two different things.
Man, those guys who did the WPA works had some class or what? I looked at some of the projects that were done with those funds in San Diego from the list you provided. Did not realize Presidio park and county building were built with those funds.
