re: #71 goddamnedfrank

It’s an easy thing to look up.

The CCC employed young, poor adult males. No children. Also, it was pure economic stimulus, a government jobs program … something that’s completely anathema to today’s Republican Party.

the CCC is a hell of a story…American ‘git it done’ attitude at it’s best…not only were jobs provided, but there was an element of learning skills, discipline, diet, teamwork and all that….quaint by todays standards….some of the stonework those guys did is truly exceptional
