The specific program I would want to bring back from the New Deal is the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). The CCC public work relief program for unemployed men between the ages of 18-25. The program would give them unskilled manual labor jobs to help build parks and conserve natural resources in the rural areas of the United States of America. Not only did the CCC generate over 3 million new jobs for unemployed people, but also it constructed nearly 800 parks around the USA, many of which became state parks.
I think we should implement a great program like the CCC in our current recession. I don’t think we really need anymore parks though, so maybe just other forms of unskilled manual labor. Also for the more powerful, college educated, smarter people, we could have some sort of management position for the CCC. I think we should start to find other manual labor jobs for the poverty ridden unemployed, even simple things like cleaning up urban areas would be helpful. Obviously there is no urban area in our country that is perfect, which means there is always work to be done and always jobs to be done. We just need to create those jobs through the CCC and supply more jobs, stimulate the economy, and make our urban areas with the largest populations happier through better living conditions.
I think this would be the best possible plan to bring back from the New Deal because it was very effective in job stimulus and will really brighten up the lives of all of our citizens. I personally think we need some sort of urban cleaning or perfecting in our cities just to make things tip top for living conditions. Hopefully this will help, if not there are always 4 other plans created!
