>Even if we could fix the issues with cheap foreign and domestic labor that's not going to stop automation

It'd straightforward enough for the government to keep spending money until everybody is employed. This is how stuff like LAX and the triborough bridge was built in the 30s - the last time there was an unemployment problem allegedly caused by automation.

Judging by the number of potholes out there, it's not robots fixing US infrastructure, it's nobody.
