Bad Economy

The economy is the big question in the U.S.A. Why not adopt the movement made by F.D.R. in the late 1920s; CCC camps (Civilian Conservation Corps.) It helped then and we sure could use it now. As you travel up and down the East Coast, if you look you will see bridges and roads made by the CCC group. I don't believe unemployment was in effect at this time.

The millions of dollars for bailout is a waste; there is no control. Put CCC in operation to save the economy, this would help unemployment plus accomplish many needed projects throughout our great and wonderful U.S.A.
