I envision something more along the lines of CCC, WPA and Job Corps.

The problem is coming up with work that needs to be done and which unskilled spare guys and gals can actually do.

We need to think outside the box on this: in addition to building and maintaining trails they could be used to clear dead brush from national forests to help mitigate the threat of wild fires.

Many (mostly women, I suspect) could be used to provide day care while other working Americans are at work.

Whatever, things need to get better: hopefully Uncle Joe and his cohorts can come up with something viable.

One has to wonder: if America is such a great place, a land of opportunity, why then do so many fail to try, to take advantage of it?

What is so bad in the USA that people need relief via meth, or heroin, or oxy?
