How does Congress think that our economy works?

Our Congress does not know how a market economy works since they keep printigng money, getting all of us deeper into debt, and push through more and more regulations.  Congress does not know how to create jobs if it thinks more government is the answer.  Below is a simple example of how the current Congress creates jobs and pays off debt.

It's a slow day in a small Vermont town and streets are deserted. Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody is living on credit. A rich tourist drives through town, stops at the motel, and lays a $100 bill on the desk saying he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs to pick one for the night.

As soon as he walks upstairs, the 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 Farmer's Co-op. 
The guy at the Farmer's 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 rich 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 town.

 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 the United States Government is conducting business today.
