I remember as a very small child my father describing the CCC's accomplishments when he himself was a very young man. Just think of what something like the CCC could accomplish today for Americans if so many billions were used for a similar program (hiring both men AND women this time) instead of the ridiculous waste of money on the Orange Ogre's war on Iran. Not to mention all of the Ogre's other vanity projects. IMHO, that is what Biden was hoping for when he signed the Infrastructure bill during his administration.
This series is wonderful and almost overwhelming in how it shows what's good about our nation and can still be again. Ford's commencement speech at Arizona State is also worth checking out.
It seems to me the CCC turned out to be extremely beneficial at preparing our young men, mentally and physically, for the rigors of fighting in WWII. I'm in awe of the achievements of the FDR administrations. How I wish we had a fraction of that now. But, the pendulum will swing back eventually. Look at Mamdani and his popularity.
My family live in Tennessee. The CCC and TVA keep that state going. Otherwise it is a piece of shit state. Bunch of derelicts. I wouldn’t rub two pennies together for them. I hope the justins clean up the mess.
Thank you for this! And yes, to be able to enjoy the benefits today in our National Parks -- Thanks JudiLI for speaking to this.. Can the CCC be renewed?
And today we still reap the benefits of the CCC every time we go to a national park!
