A Stimulus Story:

In a small town in the United States, the little town looks almost 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 towns only hotel,
lays a 100 Dollar Bill on the reception counter as a deposit 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 as in these hard times she 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 back his 100 Dollar Bill, saying that he did not like any of the
rooms, and he 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 under
our current administration and the State of California under Governor Arnold
are doing business today. Actually in California, they have been doing this
for a long time already.
