Yea, I was gonna say! For every one of OP’s bullet points, there exists a somewhat powerful political force bitterly fighting against it. We can’t have nice things because people in politics really, really don’t want us to have nice things.

It's both true and particularly illogical!

"" * 'Employment Assistance' - connect workers with the best jobs that want them ""

^^^ Would someone like to end welfare ('unemployement insurance')? How about just connecting people with useful work! The New Deal was one of the best social welfare programs the US _ever_ did and politicians are allergic to it.
