Update 2009.Mar.03: I realized that the government CCC/WPA (a.k.a. ELR = employer of last resort, guaranteed minimum wage job if no better job is available), and my NewEco described here, can be unified into a single system, with gradual spectrum between the two depending on how much funding is available at any given time. I just need to write this up and post it on a Web page and link it from here, if anybody expresses interest. Then eventually I need to completely merge the CCC/WPA page with this NewEco page to get rid of the apparent conflict between the two. TOP
