Uncle Sam hits the pawn shop
fiction
edward w pritchard
Uncle Sam passed the budget extension bill today at the last minute.
However, with paperwork, rescissions, and compliance issues Uncle Sam is unable to get his hands on the money for a while.
Meanwhile fifty States, three at war nations and the entire defense industry refuses to give Poor old Uncle Sam a few days grace to raise the money he owes them.
Desperate, Uncle Sam has decided to hit a pawn shop. It's his first time. They owner of the pawn shop won't take land as collateral, movable goods, or surprising gold as collateral. Because gold is declining in value today.
Still desperate, Uncle Sam has offered the Statue of Liberty as collateral in pawn. Some of the metal in the Lady of liberty is worth ten cents on the dollar in pawn.
Confused Uncle Sam is unsure how to proceed to pay his debts. He called everyone he used to lavish money on but no one will call back.
What's our good Uncle to do?
