    Default Credit Crunch Solved

    Credit Crunch Solved
    In a small town on the South Coast of France, holiday season is in full swing, but it is raining so there is not too much business happening.
    Everyone is heavily in debt.
    Luckily, a rich Russian tourist arrives in the foyer of the small local hotel.
    He asks for a room and puts a Euro100 note on the reception counter, takes a key and goes to inspect the room located up the stairs on the third floor. The hotel owner takes the banknote in a hurry and rushes to his meat supplier to whom he owes E100. The butcher takes the money and races to his supplier to pay his debt. The wholesaler rushes to the farmer to pay E100 for pigs he purchased some time ago. The farmer triumphantly gives the E100 note to a local prostitute who gave him her services on credit. The prostitute goes quickly to the hotel, as she was owing the hotel for her hourly room use to entertain clients.
    At that moment, the rich Russian is coming down to reception and informs the hotel owner that the proposed room is unsatisfactory and takes his E100 back and departs.
    There was no profit or income. But everyone no longer has any debt and the small townspeople look optimistically towards their future.
    Could this be the solution to the global financial crisis?

    This is how our monetary society works, except the small hotel is a bank ...sort of

    Well I think that to increase the use of prostitues would go a long way to fixing the worlds problems.

    To grow old is inevitable.... To grow up is optional

    Confidence, the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.

    What could possibly go wrong.

    Currently our bankers & pollies are earning big money to screw us over.

    So what would you expect to change?
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    The only reason that this works is because there are NO banks involved .

    Are you sure this isn't what got us into the problem in the first place?
