I wonder if half the comments on this video, would have been posted in the 30’s
back from brazil - there is poverty - but not the poverty of spirit
Don’t forget the memory of Yip Harburg, who wrote this immortal song.
That’s exactly what I said, you come across as stupid.
@Heeey333 The economy did not flourish because of FDR’s programs. It flourished because we entered into an massive industrial build up during WWII.
@Heeey333 He means that it galvanized the nation and created a lot of support for Roosevelt, but did not actually help the economy in any meaningful way.

It’s about earth shift. Earth shift: One huge continent became 2 continents, then 5 (or 6) and then?
Where would we be without Democrates? Excuse the spelling,I went to a gov. school and you can call me Al.
my sis said that
this song is for the great depression. When lynching the would hang black people and sing this song so i dont like it cause they would call us strange fruit cause we were hanging. Its called history/
I LOVE this song! Surprised old Bing didn’t get hurled up in front of Mcarthy for this little piece of socialist realism.
not so, where there is inadequate demand (and only then) the government by spending creates some demand. Milton Friedman agreed with this in his Monetary History of the USA . He adds correctly that if demand is adequate govt spending leads to stagflation.
where are your sources for this. The developed countries with the largest public sector (Germany, the Netherlands, Belguim, Holland) are those least affected by the GFC.
They mostly have suits on!!! guess that was like jeans and a t shirt is to us today???
I’m wearing a diaper.
It is both side that fucked the economy - We the people gave them the power. We need to stand up and inform our neighbors
we r fukt
the usa wasn’t always in debt, we used to have a curplus that came from standard country profits (taxes, selling weapons, etc.).
Yes young Heeey…but they have to pay their salaries from some pool of money. That pool is produced by taking money from those who would buy products, thus creating jobs, or from the companies which could expand, thus creating jobs.
It’s actually very simple math. If the gov’t pays someone 50 grand…they must first take about 80 grand from someone else…the dollar difference is the result of “bureaucratic friction.” You’ll learn about that if you take Econ in college. Gov’t REDUCES jobs.
park rangers, social work agencies, etc. all equal increase job options by government.
Every government job today costs approximately two private sector jobs. During the depression the ratio was slightly better. Anyone who understands economics and tax structure understands that government does not create jobs…they appropriate private sector jobs in order to increase dependency on government. Simple math…and irrefutable
and politics fuck humanity
The Republicans fuck the economy!!!!!!!!!
verinone u are the idiot republican and thank you for supporting bush jr and crashed economy millions jobless thanks to idiots like you
So, social security & unemployment insurance are fallacious and sickening; To a man with no heart and no brain perhaps! Uunobjectionable measures to stave off the poverishment of old age and joblessness. In fact, WW II is a wonderful example of Keynesian economics writ large. Keynes reigned supreme throughout the prosperous ’50’s and ’60’s wherein there were both widespread prosperity and relative equality of income.
By the way, grammatically speaking,: do you “judge a person off” ? No.
Amazing song. Amazing, amazing, amazing.
