Economics Made Easy
« on: January 19 2009, 09:28:15 PM »
Once upon a time a man appeared in a village and announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10 dollars apiece.
The villagers, seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them.
The man bought thousands at $10 and, as supply started to diminish the villagers stopped their effort.
He next announced that he would now buy monkeys at $20 each.

This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again.


Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms.


The offer increased to $25 each and the supply of monkeys became so scarce it was an


effort to even find a monkey, let alone catch it!


The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50 each! However,since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would buy on his behalf.


In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers:


"Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has already collected. I will sell them to you at $35 and when the man returns from the city, you can sell them to him for $50 each."


The villagers rounded up all their savings and bought all the monkeys for $700 billion.


They never saw the man or his assistant again, only lots and lots of monkeys!


Now you have a better understanding of how the


BANK BAILOUT PLAN WILL WORK !!!!

The joke would be better if it told the story of villagers rounding up "fucktard fucking fuckhead fuckers".

Now, the question is, if everything goes straight to hell anyhow is it BECAUSE of the bailouts and handouts and stimulus or is it IN SPITE of the bailout and handouts and stimulus.

I know the politicians that shoved it down our throats will claim the latter, while it is probably the former.

They don't even admit that it was the law sponsored by Barney Frank (D-Massachusetts) that created most of this mess. If you think that they'll own up to the mess created by this bailout, I have some swampland to sell you... :rofl;
