re: #279 Decatur Deb
A follow-on program still exists. Our Habitat affiliate had a dozen kids for our best year and a half of house construction. They were NCCC, a program that has been under RW attack. I worked with them most weekends, and have recommended it to my low-motivation grand-daughter. Unfortunately, we lost them all to Katrina recovery work.
The only way the right wing will ever be brought on board for fixing our infrastructure is if chain gangs do all the work.
