80. the kind of social engineering our "leaders" love

Any time anyone suggest large public works programs in order to provide employment and a public service (Victoria's Great Ocean Rd was built by returned WW1 soldiers - The New Deal's WPA being examples) politicians on BOTH sides of the fence screech "social engineering" (and in the US "argh commie".

Yet somehow it's perfectly OK to boost employment by artificially inflating the prison population.
