Young Bill in Montana bought a horse from a farmer for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the horse the next day.

The next day the farmer drove up and said, "Sorry son, but I have some bad news... The horse died."

Bill replied, "Well, then just give me my money back." The farmer said, "Can't do that. I went and spent it already."

Bill said, "Ok, then, just bring me the dead horse."

The farmer asked, "What ya gonna do with him?" Bill said, "I'm going to raffle him off."

The farmer said, "You can't raffle off a dead horse!"

Bill said, "Sure I can, Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he's dead."

A month later, the farmer met up with Bill and asked, "What happened with that dead horse?"

Bill said, "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a piece and made a profit of $898."

The farmer said, "The horse was dead! Didn't anyone complain?"

Bill said, "Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back."

Bill grew up and now works for the government.

He's the one who figured out how this "bail-out" thing is going to work.
