---Finally, someone has explained the word "stimulus" in a way that I
could understand.
In a small town in the United States, the place looks almost 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 town's only hotel, lays a 100 dollar bill on the reception
counter as a deposit, and goes to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to
pick one. 

The hotel proprietor takes the 100 dollar bill and runs to pay his debt
to the butcher. 

The butcher takes the 100 dollar bill, and runs to pay his debt to the
pig farmer. 

The pig farmer runs to pay his debt to the supplier of his feed and fuel.


The supplier of feed and fuel takes the 100 dollar bill 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 Dollar
Bill 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 dollar bill 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 back his 100 dollar bill, 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 Government and
the State of California are doing business today.
