This was on Kevin Sorbo's Facebook page. Yep. He is very Conservative.  Greek Bailout Explained It is a slow day in a little Greek Village. The rain is beating and the streets deserted. Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit. This day a rich German tourist is driving through the village, stops at the local hotel and lays a €100 note on the desk, telling the hotel owner he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to pick one to spend the night. The owner gives him some keys and, as soon as the visitor has walked upstairs, the hotelier grabs the €100 note and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher. The butcher takes the €100 note and runs down the street to repay his debt to the pig farmer. The pig farmer takes the €100 note and heads off to pay his bill at the supplier of feed and fuel. The guy at the Co-op takes the €100 and runs to pay his drinks bill at the tavern. The publican slips the money along to the local prostitute drinking at the bar, who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer him "services" on credit. The hooker then rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill to the hotel owner. The hotel proprietor then places the €100 note back on the counter so the rich traveler will not suspect anything. At that moment the traveler comes down the stairs, picks up the €100 note, states that the rooms are not satisfactory, pockets the money, and leaves town. No one produced anything.No one earned anything.However, the whole village is now out of debt and looking to the future with a lot more optimism. And that is how the bailout package works! |

And that is how the bailout package works! no, it failed at step 1, the butcher had to import the meat from Germany and sends the 100 euros there. Greece's big problem is that it doesn't really produce anything but FSA |
