Brother, Can You Spare a Dime? They used to tell me I was building a dream And so I followed the mob. When there was earth to plow or guns to bear, I was always there, right on the job. They used to tell me I was building a dream With peace and glory ahead-- Why should I be standing in line, just waiting for bread? Once I built a railroad, I made it run, Made it race against time. Once I built a railroad, now it's done-- Brother, can you spare a dime?.... Once in khaki suits, gee, we looked swell Full of the Yankee Doodle-de-dum. Half a million boots went slogging through hell, And I was the kid with the drum.... -E.Y. Harburg and J Gorney, 1932 Which program was created to deal with the problem identified in this song?
