So they want to gut the New Deal huh

Fine then they can't use any of the thousands of WPA projects anymore. The Works Progress Administration used federal money to employ skilled workers on public projects. Local governments only had to come up with funds for the materials for those projects.

The WPA supported tens of thousands of artists, by funding creation of 2,566 murals and 17,744 pieces of sculpture that decorate public buildings nationwide.

The WPA built 650,000 miles of road, 125,000 public buildings, 75,000 buildings, and 800 airports, some of these projects are still in use today. Also the WPA aided in the building of Hoover Dam, and state information centers for every state except Hawaii.

So freeper you don't get to use those highways, fly from those airports, or use any of the thousands of buildings those "commie rat bastards" built. You do however get to figure out how to feed a B1 bomber or a Bunker Buster to your kids. Forget about stoping at the next state info center on your next vacation, it's not for you.


Add to this thread your favorite WPA project. The we can tell the Republicans, "It's not for you anymore."

so we need to add a freeper electricity filter to it.

for Communist propaganda. The Commission was ruthless in its investigation against The Cradle Will Rock, produced by Orson Welles and John Houseman. Besides the hearings, it used its political muscle to close it down before too many people saw it.

I like a lot of them. On my way across the country a month ago I found a way to break the monotony of Kansas by stopping at these Post Offices that had New Deal murals that were just off I-70. I like depression era art, it was pretty cool and it made Kansas fly by.

The Tennessee Valley Authority was another New Deal project which allows rural residents to have electricity in their homes. Before then, rural Southerners had to use candles to light their houses at night and fireplaces, if they were lucky to have one, to heat them--and they simply suffered from the sweltering summer heat!

Ask any Southerner if they would like to go back to the days of no air conditioning in the summer, no heat in the winter, and no electricity year round. I'm sure they would say no until we tell them it was a New Deal project.

It's the sort of boondoggle for business and localities Congress loves. Today's paper;

"The usually fractious members of the House of Representatives on Thursday found something they nearly all shared: an appetite for millions of dollars for home-state road, bridge and transit projects.

"On a vote of 417 to 9, House members approved a $284 billion, six-year measure that would pay for transportation upgrades around the nation, including more than 4,000 projects sought by individual lawmakers at a cost of more than $12 billion."
