Sounds like Congress.No one produced anything. No one earned anything.
A day in the small Oklahoma town of Pumphandle, and streets are deserted. Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody is living on credit..A tourist visiting the area drives through town, stops at the motel, and lays a $100 bill on the desk, saying he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs to pick one for the night.
As soon as he walks upstairs, the motel owner grabs the bill and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher.
The butcher takes the $100 and runs down the street to retire his debt to the pig farmer.
The pig farmer takes the $100 and heads off to pay his bill to his supplier, the Co-op.
The guy at the Co-op takes the $100 and runs to pay his debt to the local prostitute, who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer her "services" on credit.
The hooker rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill with the hotel owner.
The hotel proprietor then places the $100 back on the counter so the traveler will not suspect anything.
At that moment the traveler comes down the stairs, states that the rooms are not satisfactory, picks up the $100 bill and leaves.
No one produced anything. No one earned anything... However, the whole town is now out of debt and now looks to the future with a lot more optimism.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how a Stimulus package works.
Oz never gave nothing to the Tin Man, that he didn't already have.

Now i understand what goes on in the GOVERMENT.
In real time i GOT my STIMULUS CHECK ($1200) and going to buy some tools.
Still waiting on mine, hopefully put it to good use like reloading supplies!
Had it in my account for 1 day, then used it to pay last years taxes on the hunting camp property in Pa.
So the government giveth, and then the government taketh away. lol
Still waiting on my check. Pretty sure my $ will take a similar trip as above. LOL
My adult son was shocked when he learned we claimed him as a dependent, thus no check. In his despair he had to admit he hasn’t missed any meals.
Didn't expect to get one BUT, SURPRISE SURPRISE. Both the wife and I got one.
Grand Son graduates from High School. ($$)
His little brother couldn't be left out so (little brother is bigger than I am) ($$)
Another Grand Son just got married. ($$)
Great Grand Daughter and her main squeeze are both graduating from Chico State. ($$$$$$)
Easy come, easy go.
