Um, I'd like to remind the poster that the big dive in GDP and employment of the Great Recession occurred during the Bush administration and has been significantly alleviated during Obama's. In other words Obama's applied an admittedly insufficient tourniquet but it was Bush who caused the bleeding.
@screwstonian1 so did i saw it in our a.p. u.s. history class we were learning about the depression...only thing that sucked about the movie was the 6 page essay about it
@mk6758 It can mean what FuneralFlightSuit said, but it can also mean "nonsense," or in essence, "bullshit." So basically he's saying, "You're telling me to smile and be happy when the everything's so fucked up? Bullshit!"
@mk6758 "Nerts" is a slang variant of "nuts". The expression "Aww, nuts to that" or "nuts to you!" while making a dismissing hand waver or sour face basically means "The hell with that" or "the hell with you!".
The more things change, the more they stay the same...

From what I have read, Nertz is actually the word Nuts in disguise. Apparently, Nuts was an offensive word so they Nertz became a slang replacement.

Cheer up, cheer up, cheer up, cheer up, cheer,
Up, cheer up, cheer up, cheer, better times are here.
Sunny smilers we must be, the optimist asserts,
Let's hang the fat-head to a tree! Cheer up, smile, nertz!
Nertz!
COOLLL!
