These were made up of folks who could not find work in the regular work sector. These workers built bridges, roadways, public and national parks all over the country. They didn't make alot of money but instead kept their sense of worth and integrity with the work they performed. My grandfather was a military policeman who oversaw and maintained the peace in these camps. He always said it was the best part of his military service. There was pride around folks who didn't care what the work paid just as long as they could work.. Occasionally my grandfather would have to load a few folks in the truck and take them to the county line and drop them off. Back then if you didn't work you didn't eat. We seem to reward those today who we then would load up and and drop off at the county or state line. America, land of oppurtunity.....................not entitlement.

Unfortunatly it doesn't help. But it makes the Governments unemployment figures look good. That is how they do it in England. Unfortunatly it doesn’t help.

If you want to go to a post secondary school (vocational) or college, you are denied unemployment compensation benefits under the argument that you can't go to school and also look for a job. I know a number of long term unemployed who can't go to vocational school to train for more employable positions because they lose any income during that time. It is a double edged sword to the long term unemployed. They can get the grants to pay for the education, but there is nothing left for survival, so they can't go to school to train for a job.

The ones who don't want to learn can either find a job on their own or do without our supporting them! Thee are a lot of people who would welcome some job training to help them get a job!
