t is the month of August; a resort town sits next to the
shores of a lake. It is raining, and the little town looks totally
deserted. It is tough times, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives
on credit.
Suddenly, a rich tourist comes to town.
He enters the only hotel, lays a 100 dollar bill on
the reception counter, and goes to inspect the rooms upstairs in order
to pick one.
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 pig farmer.
The pig 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 hooker 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.

Re: The recession
Thats a real GOOD one
The problem is that Obama will now over Tax the rich tourist, so now he won't even bother to visit the town. So he then hurts the middle class that he often speaks about, and he is now left with the prositutes bill that he pays with our tax dollars, and the middle class pays the bill without services rendered.
So we get screwed a different way
