FDR was able to get all kinds of "Dollar a Year" men to supervise the war effort. The Donald should be able to do the same even if he has to up their pay to say $100 to compensate for inflation.
Mrs. Submareener’s father was a dollar a year man in WWII. He ran a butyl alcohol plant in Puerto Rico turning cane sugar into synthetic rubber. We have his checks posted in our home office.
