Food for thoughts.

Current Affairs. Economic Policy?

So many things, both good and bad,positive and negative, keep coming and going in front of our eyes in the financial market. Here is one of those things that was in circulation last week. Read on and you will be the judge.

It is tough times and everybody is in bebt and lives on credit.

Suddenly a rich tourist comes to town.
He enters the only hotel, lays a 100 Euro note on the reception counter and goes to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to pick one.

The hotel owner takes the 100 Euro note and runs to pay his debt to the butcher.

The butcher takes the 100 Euro note and runs to pay his debt to the pig grower.

The pig grower takes the 100 Euro note and runs to pay his debt to the supplier of his food and fuel.

The supplier of food and fuel takes the 100 Euro note and runs to pay his debt to the town prostitute that, in these tough times, gave her service on credit.

The hooker runs to the hotel and pays off her debt with the 100 Euro note to the hotel owner to pay for the rooms that she rented when she brought her clients there.

The hotel owner then lays the 100 Euro note 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 his 100 Euro note back into his wallet.

"None of the rooms here was to my liking." says the torist and leaves the town.

Nobody earned anything, however, the whole town is now without debt and looks to the future with a lot of optimism.

Does it scare the hell out of you if that is exactly how the big economies now are doing business today ??
