Politicians and Money

Politician: “Step right up here voter. Let me tell you what I’m going to do for you. First you need to lend me a hundred dollars.”

Voter: “But will I get my money back?"

Politician: “Sure! Lend me a hundred bucks, but only give me fifty now. That way, you’ll owe me fifty bucks, I’ll owe you fifty bucks, and we’ll call it even.”
