"Back in '37 and '38, were the WPA and CCC folks counted as employed? Maybe, maybe not..."

On the contrary, of course they did. Though I don't think the CCC and the WPA ever co-existed. I could be wrong.

I just want to be sure this is what it seems. I've offered some fairly substantial opinions from well respected, clearly objective sources (I could provide the numbers themselves if you want) and the best you can do is fall back on hyperbolic political rhetoric and an argument that since the Federal government's own numbers, the ones collected by FDR's government by the same techniques that damned Hoover in your eyes, don't show what you want to believe, it's all statistical lies? You don't like the evidence, you can't respond to it, so you dismiss it and believe only what you want to believe? Do you have any idea how childish those responses sound?
