Aside from your service in the military, every one of those should have been done, in total, at the state local or county level.
CRZ. Some were county, with some federal grant. Some were state with some federal money. Except for the army all were locally administered but had to meet federal/state requirements. The young volunteers in action I thought should have been paid for with donations, but the red Cross got a grant from the federal action agency along with the Peace Corp and community action programs like my next job for $600.00 a month. I had there the help of 2 full time volunteers and a bunch of part time or occasional volunteers. Private businesses gave us in kind donations, like food, clothing,toilet paper and school supplies. Indeed, the local community made it work, but I was still a government employee with 4 dependents.I Learned a lot on that job.
Some times government squanders our tax dollars, sometimes it asks a lot of it’s employees. Some are to be commended, some probably need to fired, if not shot. The higher in the hieroricy the less work and the more pay. I know, the road crews have 5 workers, one to dig the hole and four to watch and critique the work. In general I try not to paint a diverse group with an overly broad brush. Sometimes you can get something cheap and sometimes you get what you pay for and sometimes you get ripped off big time.
