#1: The hooker doesnt get to keep the $100 because her pimp took 90% of it. #2: The pimp ends up blowing it on his drug habit. #3: The drug dealer spends it on the hooker, back to the pimp, now we're stuck in a endless loop!
Comments: A) The motel owner had no business stealing the $100 from the rich tourist. B) Nobody benefits except the pimp and drug dealer so further down goes the neighborhood and the optimism with it. C) This is a perfect example of what is wrong with debt. D) The ends never justify the means. *If that's how stimulus works, then I want no part of it!
