And federal infrastructure projects are noting but political payback to Democrat run unions. You can't write a check to them directly from the Treasury, so you give them some unneeded make work projects instead.
Politics as usual, reward your friends, punish your enemies.
The US did all sorts of make work projects during the Depression, notably the WPA (Works Progress Administration) which it's members said jokingly stood for "We Poke Along". They did some good work, but knew it was a racket. All the National Recovery Act efforts by FDR just lengthened the Depression. Germany got out of the Depression mostly because it, prior to WWII had the same positive public opinion about the future that the US had post-WWII.
Bullet trains are a waste of money in a country with good air travel and an fancy and complete interstate highway system. Moreover, when they try to build them in Cali, they are gigantic boondoggles that waste billions in taxpayer funds.
As a side note, I would also love if we had a midevil definition of usury, or at the very least, interest for all loans was capped at 3%.
We are a nation? That's news to me.

I don't know what you mean by "labor currency".
