A rich tourist arrives at the only hotel in town looks round the foyer and
asks how much for a room?
"$100 in advance" says the hotelier, the tourist says "OK here's the money
I will check your rooms out and decide if I want to stay" he puts the money on the counter and goes upstairs
with his bags.
The hotel proprietor takes the 100 dollar bill and runs to pay his debt to
the butcher.
The butcher takes the 100 dollar bill, and runs to pay his
debt to the hog farmer.
The hog farmer takes the 100 dollar bill, and
runs to pay his debt to the supplier of his feed and fuel.
The supplier
of feed and fuel takes the 100 dollar bill and runs to pay his debt to the
town's prostitute that in these hard times, gave her "services" on credit.
The prostitute runs to the hotel, and pays off her debt with the 100
dollar bill to the hotel proprietor to pay for the rooms that she rented when
she brought her clients there.
The hotel proprietor then lays the 100
dollar bill back on the counter so that the rich tourist will not suspect
anything.
At that moment, the rich tourist comes down after inspecting
the rooms, and takes his 100 dollar bill, after saying that he did not like any
of the rooms, and leaves town.
No one earned anything. However, the
whole town is now without debt, and looks to the future with a lot of optimism.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how the United States government is
doing business today.
