wow, Palin, i applaud you loudly. Im so tired of hearing about the left and the right, Ds and Rs. we are all americans and we better start acting like it or this country will be lost like many others. We hear so much about Americas best generation, and the contributions they have made, and there is a reason for that. They worked to make it great. My family, hillbillies from the south went to work on the WPA, and the CCC camps. Most have forgotten what they were. they were "programs" that were implemented prior to WW2 when work was in short demand, and families needed work. they were young men who signed up to go to work, and a stipend of their pay was sent to the families back home. One uncle was sent to the Ozarks to help clear cut it to provide good lumber for the war effort that was coming. Another was sent to help build bridges, even helped build Piere Marquette state park. Both met, fell in love with girls in their perspective areas, stayed, and raised families. Oh, one more thing, all my uncles included my dad were then drafted and served our country during the great war. My dad, who was younger walked 13 miles into town with his dads consent to join the Navy, and i might add for the duration of the war. I cant understand why any red blooded American would be ok with these able bodied men and women,[if they dont have kids}, not perform some sort of work to earn money given by the gub a mint. Trust me, they would be glad to go get a real job if I was the foreman on their crew. This would leave more money to provide a greater amount of help for the real disabled men and women who richly derserve it. Well, thats all I got to say about thaaaat. its nap time, im worn out....
