How courageous this must have been in 1933! A devastating number. One can only imagine the effect on the movie-going, many who been in the war, or lost loved ones, and were living on the breadline.

Talk about no punches pulled. Joan Blondell is utterly sumptuous but, for me, Etta Moten's wailing contralto steals the song. But each section just builds and builds the cumulative emotional wallop of the production. Best musical number ever? It's certainly a contender!!

This can be the song of the Great Recession. I don't think it's going to get any better for a damn long time. We're so screwed.

@carrotjuse FDR's policies were the exact opposite of Hoover's. That statement displays such ignorance of both history and the basic principles of economics that continuing this discussion would obviously be pointless. You're right about one thing; the Republicans are doing their level best to slow down the Obama wrecking ball, Cod bless them. If they can stay strong for another year, we may yet save America.

[carrotjuse]

@theshadow1932 In addition, legislation by Obama has been blocked by Republicans, who are doing exactly as they announced they would do, which is that would work against the president to ensure that he would be a one term president, regardless of the consequences to the nation. Republicans major goal for three years has been to obstruct government.

Your extremist ideology prevents you from accepting fact.

@theshadow1932 You're still running on empty, dude. When FDR was sworn in on March 1933, unemployment had already reached nearly 20%. FDR's policies put people to work and food on the table for millions of families, who might otherwise have slowly starved. FDR introduced legislation to prevent the financial abuses of the 1920s, which the Bush administration repealed, with the resultant 2008 stock market crash and economic crisis. FDR's policies were the exact opposite of Hoover's.

@llatimer2 lolololol

@llatimer2 Sorry, but you seem to be fact-deficient. The Clinton years were the most prosperous of the last forty. I know you hate to hear it, but he paid off Reagan's $320 billion deficit in only 6 years and left office with an $8 billion surplus.

Nixon is the one who opened up trade with China after his visit in February 1972.

@carrotjuse So says StanLaurel. My stanc is right and exact and you're running around acting out the slapstick

[llatimer2]

@carrotjuse Goes back to Bill Clinto and his erace of GATT, NAFTA, and free trad with the Chinese Empire
