So glad to finally see a stimulus package that works… 

•         It's a cold day in the small Saskatchewan town of Pumphandle and the streets are deserted. Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody is living on credit. 
• A Traveler comes to town and lays a $100 bill on the hotel desk saying he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs to pick one for the night.
• As soon as he walks upstairs, the hotel 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.
