The Civilian Conservation Corps, known as the CCC, was established in 1933. It put many young men to work doing worthwhile projects across the USA. The CCC:

• Restored 3,980+ historical structures

• Developed 800+ state parks

• Built 28,087+ miles of trails

• Built 38,550+ vehicle bridges

• Built 3,116+ lookout towers

• Built lodges and museums

• Worked on national parks

The CCC was disbanded prior to WWII. In these times, or for that matter, any other time, it sure seems like a good idea to bring the CCC back. Better than paying unemployment insurance or welfare to people for doing nothing, eh?
