The best idea ever

So during my musings today and a good article in the National Post i read, I figured that instead of putting 817 Billion dollars into the American economy, split up so many ways its a wonder it would even stimulate, I figure we could put all the money into the beer industry. With some inspiration from this column, I would like to expand on this thought. Before you stop reading, take the time too look at all the jobs this would create:

Obviously there are jobs such as Brewers, Hops farmers and other essentials in the beer making process. Let us look at, however, the indirect job creation that would be created.

-Transportation. Would need more trucks and trailers to transport these goods.

- We would need more truck manufacturers to make the steel and rod and tires and everything that would go into making sufficient means of transportation for this beer.

- More steel plants would have to be created, think world war two, on a smaller scale of course, but still, more jobs are more jobs

-Architects. How else will you design the buildings?

-Teachers...To train the architects.

-More workers to for the newly implemented steel plants. More drivers to transport the beer. More people to dispatch the drivers. More teachers to train more architects. More teachers to train more teachers to train more teachers.

Furthermore, how many more jobs would be created even more indirectly....

-Policemen

-Paramedics

-Doctors

-Casket Makers...The forestry industry would benefit because of this

-Funeral home Attendants

-People to construct many more breathalyzers

-Nurses

-More Insurances agencies

-People to run AA meetings

-All the necessary training would have to be provided by teachers, and I have already explained that process and all the job creation there.

-Someone to look after all those Budweiser Clydesdale's we saw in all those Super Bowl commercials.

-More fast food spots because all these fat beer drinkers need to eat right?

There are consequences of this type of stimulus package, as you can see, but a job is a job correct? You wouldn't even have to charge much for the beer. Because of the vast volume that would be made, and the relatively cheap cost to produce, you just have to get people in the door. Kinda like a Detroit Red Wings game.

It's funny, a stimulus package is created to stimulate the economy, to stabilize it. Why not thwart stimulating and just go balls to the wall and get rich quick. It's so crazy it just might work.
