Civil Conservation Corps.

What with all of the unemployment that is rampant I would propose a return to the CCC of FDR days. While putting evacuees into camps such as Ft. Chafee they should do their own KP, post clean-up and even paint rocks like we did to earn their keep. There will be plenty of work to clean up the mess and re-construct. Pay for work done rather than for just being.

I fear that a terrible precedent was set with the multi-million dollar settlements given to survivors of the WTC. I said so then and I say so now.

I can almost agree that the rich white of 911 got millions and the poor minorities ain't getting shit. I said ALMOST!!!

Things have probably changed in 40 years but I remember when Germans were required to work for the State in order to receive any unemployment pay.

That's OUTRAGEOUS! You actually expect people to be required to work for gubermint cheese?

Actually, I wanted to do the same thing with the homelss. Put them on abandoned military bases, teach them a trade and out the to work...
