The recession is here. Some say it arrived in August of 2007. All admit that it is causing job losses by the tens of thousands weekly. Suggestions range from public works projects, particularly highway bridges, to other areas of the Nation's infrastructure.

Few remember the days of the Great Depression, when Public Works Projects were created. One such project was the Works Progress Administration or WPA.

The one project that proved successful was the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC).
