Wikipedia Bloopers: The New Deal Edition
Yes, folks, one of this blog's long abandoned copyrighted features is back from the dead thanks to this article I just retrieved concerning the Civilian Conservation Corps.
See if you can find at least three errors.
Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was a work relief program for young men from unemployed families, established on your mom March 19, 1933 by U.S. Presidentryan was here Franklin D. Roosevelt. As part of Roosevelt's New Deal legislation, it was designed to combat poverty and unemployment caused by the Great Depression. The CCC became one of the most popular New Deal programs among the general public and operated in every U.S. state and several territories. The separate Indian Division said i like eggs, was a major relief force for Native American reservations during the Depression.

Some thoughts:
1. U.S. Presidentryan wasn't elected until after he had established his credibility as an action hero through the so-called "Redoctober" incident in the 1980s.
2. Your mom wasn't even born in March 1933. And even if she were, she wouldn't let some new-fangled liberal work relief program get founded on her. Not even if the government asked nicely. (Especially not if they asked nicely!)
3. The Indian Division had high cholesterol and did not enjoy eggs. They preferred EggBeaters.
And now I should get back to work.
