1. As a child of the devistating depression of the 30's, I agree with
Kucinich in regard to make-work programs such as the WPA. Those were tough times for the American worker and their families. My teen age brothers were able to help support themselves ,gain important work skills and experience and help our family. I believe we will see the need for such programs in the near future.

2. Excellent!
I agree with everything he says. Granted, the underdog always has the luxury of being a little bolder, but Dennis definitely sketches out a clear vision for a better America.
