Zeev's Turnips Patch-No Politics (ZEEV)

[Dr VanNostrand]

The CCC & WPA projects of the late 30s & early 40s have stood the test of time. I'm always amazed when negotiating the back alleys of Pittsburgh architecture to see the graceful stone walls, railway arches, and other remnants of these programs still standing. Instead of dumping billions down the military black holes of Iraq & Afghanistan we could have put millions back to work shoring up our infrastructure. And, I agree with you Newly about bailing out the feckless - nobody offered to help me with my 1982 13 1/2% negative amortization mortgage - I just lived below my means and worked it out on my own. Self sufficiency is its own reward.
