Narrator
- [first lines]
- Narrator: Washington, D.C, March 4th, 1933 - a spectacular climax in the world of dramatic events: The inauguration of President Roosevelt. Military men, marching through sharp commands - while throughout the nation, thirteen million buck privates shuffle along in the biggest army of unemployed America has ever known.
- Narrator: From 1926 to 1929, the purchasing power of the dollar remains about the same. Then comes depression, and money is hard to get - therefore, its purchasing power rises sharply.
- Narrator: With money less valuable, the purchasing power of the dollar will naturally drop; therefore, the cost of living will be forced up. Wages will be increased to meet the higher cost of living, so that the three lines will meet as one - and then, kiddies, we'll all have noodles in our soup.
- [last lines]
- Narrator: What inflation has done before, it will do again. Everything's looking up! Throw out the chest - get a new step; snap into it! What a man, and what a leader! Yowzer! Happy days are here again.
