Gerald L.K. Smith

Do very much react to the the rhetoric of this gentleman, speaking during the Great Depression on unemployment and the gold standard:

"Pull down these huge piles of gold until there shall be a real job, not a little old sow-belly, black-eyed pea job but real spending money, beefsteak and gravy, Chevrolet, Ford in the garage, new suit, Thomas Jefferson, Jesus Christ, red, white, and blue job for every man. Amen."
