Not Politically Correct, But Absolutely Correct

[Tony Castronovo]

I may talk one on one with you guys about our Nations condition and views, and do so because of the years I have traveled all over the world and have seen and learned things that most have not.Education to me both pro and con is one of my most important concerns I think we need to make wise decisions in our lives, and it all certainly must be shared in my book. In this case I certainly don't want to start a political war, but this came across my desk this morning and is the best explanation that I have heard on the subject, and want to share it all of you.

$100 Bill

It's a slow day in

  the small town of Pumphandle and the streets are deserted. Times are tough,

  everybody is in debt, and everybody is living on credit.

A tourist

  visiting the area drives through town, stops at the motel, and lays a $100

  bill on the desk saying he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs to pick one for

  the night.

As soon as he walks upstairs, the motel owner grabs the

  bill and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher.

(Stay with

  this.....and pay attention)

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 to his

  supplier, the Co-op.

The guy at the 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.

(Almost

  done...keep reading)

The hotel proprietor

  then places the $100 back on the counter so the traveler will not suspect

  anything.

At that moment the traveler comes down the stairs, states

  that the rooms are not satisfactory, picks up the $100 bill andleaves.

  

No one produced

  anything. No one earned anything. However, the whole town now thinks that they

  are out of debt and there is a false atmosphere of optimism and

  glee.

And that, my

  friends, is how a "stimulus package" works!

  Happy,Healthy, Prosperous New Year.
