connected with the government or something. Oh so, now, leander,
don't you see the official genuine American eagles sitting right
down on my desk? Eagles that look like and stuff
owl to me, Well, it is our And when this
Erosenhower give me the appointment, he couldn't send me no eagle,
you see, eagles is extinct. Extinct? Well, all them dead
birds gives that way if you don't stick them on ice.
Explained to me what you're doing for the government, King Fish? Well,
you see, bro, then I has been appointed. H The
only before he gets into this too deep? Here is
you read the morning paper yet? No? I ain't good.
Sit down there?
Speaker 2: Are you seeing the the.
Speaker 1: New administration wants to deflate the dollar? Oh they're gonna
get out a smaller bill. Huh.
Speaker 2: No, no, and uh, you is here that today the
dollar is worth only sixty cents?
Speaker 1: A yeah, I have heard that. Say, By the way,
how come that is the situation? Well, it's mostly on
account of the farm problem he was read, where the
government has been buying up the weed in the corn
and storing it away. Yeah, but how did that make
the dollar worth sixty cents?
Speaker 2: Well, in the old days, and behind every dollar bill
there was a dollar in gold. But things are different now.
Speaker 1: They ain't generally know whod but right now in Fort Knox,
standing behind every dollar.
Speaker 2: Bill, there are fifty cents in gold and the air corn.
Speaker 1: Michael, they must be loaded with corn down there. Well,
a matter of fact, they are so stuck for stories
based there, thinking of turning the Washington Monument into a silo.
And well, listen, I still don't see how the government
is going to deflate the dollar.
Speaker 2: But now I'm a thienhouse it.
Speaker 1: Instead of having the dollar worth sixty cent, you won't
make it worth eighty cents.
Speaker 2: Right now, That's what I'm.
Speaker 1: Doing here and this agency, and every time somebody turned
in the buck, eyes authorized to give him eighty cents.
When I wait a minute, here, can't Ben Listen, If
I give you a dollar and you give me eighty
cents back, ain't I losing money?
Speaker 2: No? No? And the dollar you giving me is ow
the worth sixty cents given you here?
Speaker 1: Deer cent for it?
Speaker 2: There? You twenty cents ahead? You see?
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I was just thinking here, if a dollar
is only worth sixty cents, ain't eighty cents only worth
about half a buck?
Speaker 2: Ain't I explaining that to you? Boy?
Speaker 1: You see so far the inflation is only hitting the
fold and stuff. Now the financial experts he ain't found
out the way you had to flate up the loose change.
You see what I mean? Yeah, well, I still don't
get this whole thing. But then there, look here, I
just go have to give you a practical demonstration here
of your government and action us.
Speaker 2: You got a buck on you there?
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure, yeah, here's a dollar. Okay. Now I'll take
the dollar and I'll give you this eighty cents. I'll
consider yourself deflated. Let me look at this buck here,
wrong dollar, some wrong kings, oldo, and tell you what
