WORK AT THE WHITEHOUSE<\/p>\n
Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the White House.<\/p>\n
One is from Chicago, another is from Tennessee, and the third is from Minnesota.<\/p>\n
All three go with a White House official to examine the fence. The Minnesota contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil. “Well,” he says, “I figure the job will run about $900: $400 for materials, $400 for my crew and $100 profit for me.”<\/p>\n
The Tennessee contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, “I can do this job for $700: $300 for materials, $300 for my crew and $100 profit for me.”<\/p>\n
The Chicago contractor doesn’t measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers, “$2,700.”<\/p>\n
The official, incredulous, says, “You didn’t even measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?”<\/p>\n
The Chicago contractor whispers back, “$1000 for me, $1000 for you, and we hire the guy from Tennessee to fix the fence.”<\/p>\n
“Done!” replies the government official.<\/p>\n
And that, my friends, is how the new stimulus plan will work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
