$100.00 Bill
$100.00 Bill
It's a slow day in a little East Texas town. The sun is beating
down, and the streets are deserted. Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit.....
On this particular day a rich tourist from back east is driving through town. He stops at the motel and lays a $100 bill on the desk saying he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to pick one to spend the night.
As soon as the man walks upstairs, the owner grabs the bill and
runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher.
The butcher takes the $100 and runs down the street to retire his debt to the pig farmer.
The pig farmer takes the $100 and heads off to pay his bill at the Co-op supplier of feed and fuel.
The guy at the Farmer's Co-op takes the $100 and runs to pay his
debt to the local prostitute, now offering her "services" on credit.
The hooker rushes to the hotel and pays off her $100 room bill with the hotel owner.
The hotel proprietor then places the $100 back on the counter so
the rich traveler will not suspect anything.
At that moment the traveler comes down the stairs, picks up the
$100 bill, states that the rooms are not satisfactory, pockets the
money, and leaves town.
No one produced anything. No one earned anything.
However, the whole town is now out of debt,
and now looks to the future with great optimism!
And that, my friends, is how the United States Government
is conducting business today.
