Except now it is called 'welfare' and since making people work was mean, they don't have to do anything anymore to get our, I mean their, money.
"At the time, during the Depression, it was tough and my father was working for a company in Waterbury and he was only working a couple days a week," he said. "So, we needed food on the table. There were seven of us, besides mother and father. Nine people ate a lot of food."
The good news is that after Obama, the 2nd Depression make us part of CCC - the Next Generation.
Let’s do it again!! It’s not like those trails couldn’t use some upkeep. We pay the forest service big bucks. Why not reform Welfare a little more. Hell, if Germany can force single women on welfare into prostitution we can send ‘em to Alaska to the bush. (Pun intended :-)) I’m sure there’s a bunch of able bodied unemployed folks who could use some fresh air!
My whole life, I have listened to my mother describe someone being “As happy as a sissy in a CCC Camp.”
All that sounds good, but it kept wages artificially high while prices of everything else were falling, which means businesses couldn’t pay competitively and still make a profit.
Commies. That is all they “contributed” was the destruction of the Constitution. They should be ashamed, not proud.
Virtually NOTHING that FDR did resulted in lasting value for the USA. If I had my way I would remove FDR’s worthless carcass from its place of honor and leave it for the carrion fowl.

I was talking to my grandpa about the Depression (grandpa was born in 1930) and my great grandpa despised FDR. The way he’s genuflected, you’d think he was the only American at the time that did.
