<br>Since it is 3 weeks to the Nats and hardly anyone has noticed on these<br>pages, here's something to chew on<br><br><br>It is a slow day in the East Texas town of Madisonville.<br><br>It is raining, and the little town looks totally deserted.<br>
Times are tough, everybody is in debt and everybody lives on credit.<br>On this particular day a rich tourist from the East is driving through<br>town.<br><br>He enters the only hotel in the sleepy town and lays a hundred dollar<br>
bill on the desk stating he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs in<br>order to pick one to spend the night.<br>As soon as the man walks up the stairs, the hotel proprietor takes the<br>hundred dollar bill and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher.<br>
<br>The butcher takes the $100 and runs down the street to pay his debt to<br>the pig farmer.<br>The pig farmer then takes the $100 and heads off to pay his debt to the<br>supplier of feed and fuel.<br><br>The guy at the Farmer's Co-op takes the $100 and runs to pay his debt<br>
to the local prostitute, who has also been facing hard times and has<br>lately had to offer her "services" on credit.<br>The hooker runs to the hotel and pays off her debt with the $100 to the<br>hotel proprietor, paying for the rooms that she had rented when she<br>
brought clients to that establishment.<br><br>The hotel proprietor then lays the $100 bill back on the counter so the<br>rich traveler will not suspect anything.<br><br>At that moment the traveler from the East walks back down the stairs,<br>
after inspecting the rooms.<br><br>He picks up the $100 bill and states that the rooms are not<br>satisfactory...... Pockets the money and walks out the door and leaves<br>town.<br><br>No one earned anything. However the whole town is now out of debt, and<br>
looks to the future with a lot of optimism.<br><br>That, ladies and gentlemen, is how the United States Government is<br>conducting business today.<br><br>If that lesson doesn't scare the hell out of you, then I don't know<br>
what will.<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>NSRCA-discussion mailing list<br><a href="mailto:NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org">NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</a><br><a href="http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion" target="_blank">http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion</a><br>
