How to explain the Irish Bailout

 

 

It is a slow day in a damp little Irish town. The rain is beating down and
the streets are deserted. Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and
everybody lives on credit. On this particular day a rich German tourist is
driving through the town, 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 Farmers' Co-op takes the €100
note and runs to pay his drinks bill at the pub. 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 lady
of the night then rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill to the
hotel owner with the €100 note. The hotel proprietor then places the €100
note back on the counter so the rich traveller will not suspect anything.
At that moment the traveller 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
town is now out of debt and looking to the future with a lot more optimism.
And that, Ladies and Gentlemen, is how the bailout package works.
Everywhere is within walking distance if you have the time.
