amount of landscapes of ccc. this is the park. they did the work in them. the civil works administration was short lived. it was to get the people through the winter. and it was under the administration of a remarkable social worker from iowa named hary hopkins. he was the forerunner of the wpa and the prototype for it. this is a page from the cw a and it showed kids getting hot lunches. that was important. he put 2 million americans to work. and that included about 50 thousand school teachers sent out to rural areas. this is a cw a project. that's stern grove behind it. they are using wheel barrels. for this reason, many projects were well built. there are no cw a plot. this was one in berkeley placed there and the tennis court at coat niecis park. i was showing a montessory class there. this is an amphitheatre. it's a wonderful amphitheatre. there was from the sidewalks and they just reused it to create other things. down in menlow park. they built into a caretakers house. the wpa is must more famous. it came after the cw a. it did everything. they put ei

you do not have to call them ccc. all these people are unemployed.are paying them unemployment payments. they're not doing anything. say that billions of dollars we are paying in unemployment and put these people to work in building the infrastructure, the buildings, the rose, and our electrical grid. we're 50 years behind. our roads and bridges are falling apart. put them to work. you can do that almost immediately. put them on these unused military bases. host: congresswoman, "the new york times" on the issue of infrastructure said -- "finding the money for the nation to update its aging infrastructure will not be easy." guest: it will not be easy, but it is absolutely critical. i agree with the sentiment of the caller that making sure we get people to work through infrastructure investment gives us a two-for. the civilian conservation corps to from the new deal essentially had government funds paying individuals to build our nation's infrastructure. the 21st century version of that is to make sure we can make an investment in our nation's infrastr
