Maybe it’s just me taking notice, but it seems that I’ve seen more and more cash advance stores popping up in the in recent years. You know, the kind where you get money in advance of being paid and of course pay out the nose to do so. The government gets paid, largely, on tax day April 15th, and with this year’s stimulus pakcage they too took a cash advance. But not only did they do that, they kept spending even after they got paid and so for the first time since 1983 the government is running an April deficit. Everyone knows that people who go to cash advance stores are really desperate or foolish, right? Well, this is our intentional economic policy. Just think: we, the richest nation in the world, are that fool who intentionally wanders into that brightly signed store thinking “$$$.”
