Cute, but it is not how government stimulus works, and anyone who has taken accounting 101 would know that each of those individuals had $100 credit and $100 debit on their books, with a net asset of zero before the stranger came ito town. After the stranger left, everyone had zero credit and zero debit, with the same zero net asset.
True. Now everyone is now debt free, have established credit worthiness, and they are all still broke.
Thank you. I was about to say something similar.
But the local liquidity jumped for a moment!
I would have the tourist be the federal tax collector that takes 20 bucks from everyone under threat of imprisonment and after a long day of stealing from the citizens decides to go to the hotel...
Well...why don’t you explain to us rubes how government stimulus works, then?
