Our very first day on the Valk up on the BRP!

Lynchburg, Virginia


« on: January 18, 2011, 04:49:57 AM »

    It is a slow day in a damp little Michigan town. The rain 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 California tourist is
    driving through the town, stops at the local hotel and lays a $100 bill on
    the desk, telling the hotel owner he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs
    in order to pick one to spend the night. The owner gives him some keys
    and, as soon as the visitor has walked upstairs, the hotelier grabs the
    $100 bill and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher. The butcher
    takes the $100 and runs down the street to repay 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 Farmers' Co-op takes the
    $100 and runs to pay his bar bill at the tavern. The bar owner slips
    the money along to the local prostitute drinking at the bar, who has also
    been facing hard times and has had to offer him "services" on credit. The
    hooker then rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill to the hotel
    owner with the $100. The hotel proprietor then places the $100 bill
    back on the counter so the rich traveller will not suspect anything. At
    that moment the traveller 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 looking to the future with a lot more
    optimism.
     
    And that, friends, is how the bailout package works.
