(The Comprehensive Employment and Training Act)
"CETA worker" became a national joke.
I remember it well. “winterizing” old folks homes by tacking some plastic sheeting over the windows and raking leaves in the parks. A sad joke indeed.
We’re already paying people to NOT work, do drugs and squirt out fatherless chirin. Can we stop spending $1 trillion per year in welfare entitlements? Think of the last welfare sow you saw at the grocery store. Now, imagine her working anywhere, much less on a highway or dam.
I had a CETA job working as a custodian in an elementary school when I was 13/14 years old. It was a great experIence and i I learned how to strip, wax and a buff a floor out where you eat off it. Turned out to be great training for when I went in the Army.
I worked under the CETA program for two summers as a teen. And I did work at picking up trash, cleaning grass out of sidewalks, cutting brush, and picking up dead animals.
