Can you think of a more timely song?
Anticipating our current president's stimulus package by over seventy years, Jimmy Durante captures the mood of the nation as perfectly now as he does then. It is almost as if you could replace all references to Roosevelt with Obama and the short would be just as powerful as it is hilariously entertaining.
Of course, the NRA in this case is the acronym for the National Recovery Administration, which as part of FDRs New Deal, encouraged employment, a minimum wage and a maximum of weekly hours.
You and you and you and you
Youve got a president now
He gave the land a New Deal
You hold the cards now you deal
You and you and you and you
Put shoulders to the plow
He gave us what we asked for
Now pay him back somehow
Step out in front,
Get back of the president
And give a man a job ...

I love the way he refuses the cigar offered by the banker but then snatches the rest of the mans cigars from his pocket.

This film was produced by Hollywood actors, directors and producers and distributed nationally to movie houses as a lead-in to feature movies.
Who are the other actors in the audience here aside from Moe Howard?

Moe is actually in this - he's the exterminator!! Hard to recognize him, since he's got his hair slicked back.

Jimmy Durante is completely hilarious. He's like a real-life cartoon.

If you greedy Americans want your jobs back you just have to stop thinking you deserve more than any foreign worker does. Free markets will fix that. Keep insisting on more than $5 an hour, unfair, job-killing socialist bullshit like pollution control, worker safety, employer-paid healthcare, overtime pay, minimum wage, sick days, vacations, child labor laws, property taxes for commercial and industrially zoned land, food inspection and pharmaceutical testing and see what you get.

Give a man a job! You'll have an even harder time turning a profit and paying all of your newly hired workers, but you'll figure it out somehow!
