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 hotel 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 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 similar to how the United States Government is conducting business today.

Yep,Mark Twain wrote that + it is just as true today as it was then. Polititions never change.

Well, if it worked, why complain!!!

Your thought process/mentality sounds straight out of dc.
Get your mind right !

Concerning the hard drug subject;years ago I went down to British Honduras (now Belize).It was all open,you want drugs,buy them right there.If you were so stupid as to O.D. they would be willing to dump your body in the sea.HMMM;no drug or other crime because it's legal,no legal system to support,same as the jails,no rehab at the populations expense.You crap due to your own stupidity + you get a sea burial + we get rid of a leech that is now out of the gene pool.By the new liberal standards that most likely makes me a nazi racsist.Who cares;their opinions don't concern me.
