It is the month of August, on the shores of the
Black Sea. It is raining, and the
little town looks totally deserted. It is tough
times,everybody is in debt, and everybody 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
choose one. The hotel proprietor 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 feed and fuel. The supplier of
feed and fuel takes the 100 Euro note and runs to pay his
debt to the town's prostitute that in these hard times,
gave her "services" on credit. The hooker runs to
the hotel, and pays off her debt with the 100 Euro note to
the hotel proprietor to pay for the rooms that
she rented when she brought her clients there.
The hotel proprietor then lays the 100 Euro
note back on the counter so that the rich tourist will not
suspect anything. At that moment, the tourist comes down
after inspecting the rooms, and takes his 100 Euro note,
after saying that he did not like any of the rooms, and
leaves town. No one earned anything.
However, the whole town is now without
debt, and looks to the future with a lot of
optimism.....
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how the
United States is doing business today.
