Az I See It....

How the economy really works: 
     A wealthy man's limousine pulled into a small, economically-destitute town.  The man sauntered up the steps of the town's run-down hotel, threw a $100 bill on the counter and told the desk clerk that he wanted a room - but first, he wanted to go upstairs to decide if the rooms were to his liking.
     As soon as the man ascended the stairs, the clerk raced the $100 bill to the grocer, whom he owed $100, for his weekly food tab.  The grocer immediately ran the $100 to the farmer, whom he owed $100, for his grocery and produce stock.  The farmer immediately gave the C-note to the town prostitute, whom he owed $100, for recent 'services rendered.'  The prostitute immediately took the money to the hotel, reimbursing the clerk the $100 that she owed for her recent room rental.
     Shortly thereafter, the wealthy man descended the stairway, announced that he had decided not to stay at this 'dump' after-all, picked up his $100 bill and drove away in his limo - leaving the townspeople debt-free, without ever having to actually providing further products or services.
     Moral of the story?  You decide!
