FDR gets a bad rap from some of our talk show hosts, who obviously weren’t around in the ’30’s but apparently weren’t paying attention in history class either. Whoever is elected, or reelected next week will face the monumental task of putting people back to work. The WPA, (Work Progress Administration) established by Franklin D. Roosevelt after taking office gave people money to eat and pay rent with. It established buildings, many of which are still in use by the hands of those out of work. We could do that now. Our roads are an abomination. Our city sewers are archaic. Put those to work, including those who do not want to work with something similar. Yes, they could have their food stamps, but in many cases, instead of just getting a subsidy to live on and pay utilities with, they would have to earn their daily bread. It might make them feel better about themselves. So much for that sector. For the people who REALLY WANT TO WORK (and there are many) this would put them back on their feet. Take some of the money for Egypt and the rest of the not so nice countries that hate us and put it to use here in our own land. Better roads, a makeover and a way to improve society. It worked once before. Could it work again?
