DADDY'S LITTLE GIRLDaddy said, "C'mon. Give my little girl a credit card. If she isn't able to pay the bill, I will." So, Daddy's Little Girl got her card and headed off to the mall. The credit card company soon noticed she had racked up quite a bill. This was good. They said we can sell the debt, take the money now and split the money. Selling her debt was easy. Daddy was going to pay if she wouldn't. The buyer was no fool. He now had a new asset. "Hey, we can borrow against it. Daddy is going to pay." What a deal. The credit card company thought "This is great. We can go find lots of Daddy's Little Girls. Everyone can buy, sell, get loans and split the money. We can trust the Daddy's Little Girls to run up the bill. They probably can't pay it back. We don't care. We have Daddy." Word got around. Scoundrels and scalawags heard about it. They made plans. They could drive around in a truck, grab twits with daddies off the sidewalk and shove a credit card in their hand. Soon, there were too many Daddy's Little Girls with credit cards who couldn't pay and the banks, investors and insurance companies had bought, sold, borrowed, split the money and were living off the fat of the land. Uh-oh. If the depositors find out, they are going to rush the bank, take their money and hide it in their mattress. DADDY!!!!! Could we have 700 Billion Dollars?
LOOK! DADDY'S WALLET IS OPENAfter word got around that Daddy's Little Girl got bailed out from her money problems by Daddy, her shiftless brother, reprobate relatives and other rapscallions started showing up with their hand out.
