East Texas

[Qman]

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 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, who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer

her "services" on credit.

The hooker rushes to the hotel and pays off her 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

a lot more optimism.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how the United States Government is

conducting business today.

And the ones in DC are the ones who leave town with the $bill.

Good off-topic post.
