The modern Work Project Administration and its current long-time Administrator, Phil Bloom. The WPA provides jobs to millions of unemployed Americans across the solar system, building roads, bridges, tunnels, channels, railroads, parks, schools, housing, airports and so much more. Bloom is the second son of former U.S. Senator Leo Bloom, Sr., and current Senator Leo Bloom, Jr. An engineer by trade, Bloom followed his family into politics and his experience with engineering projects and leadership qualifications lead Douglas Grayson to name Bloom the head of the WPA in 2116. A Democrat, he remained in office under the Republican administration of Janet Gibbs. She attempted to remove him twice, but he survived both times due to his family connections and his own influence--he had broad powers to authorize WPA funds and personnel for projects, so he was able to use his discretionary powers to forge alliances and friendships. Gibbs did manage to cut WPA funding, but it's been gradually restored under the Thurman administration, and there are current plans to expand it to 50 million jobs within 10 years (you don't reach 0% unemplyoment by sitting on your thumbs).
