Wherein, the down payment is the total price and there are no raises after the ante.

19th century - And while you're waiting, folks, join our friendly little card game, two-bits to ante, just 1/4 of $1 and you are in the game! Who can't afford 25 cents? Two lousy bits on your way to a fortune.

20th century - Now you see it folks, and now you don't. 10% down and you just hop into this little beauty and drive off, that's all it takes to get it off the lot! Yessiree sir, you'll be driving the car you deserve, your neighbors will envy you, hardly anything down!

And the latest version - Hey, let's go to war. $60 billion, and we'll own all that oil. Just $60 billion and six months, no one will die, and it's ours. Hey, this little baby will pay for itself!

        Hey, $2 trillion would be a start, wouldn't it? Of course it would. (n/t) - Bowser - 8/28/2009 4:47:52 PM
        
        It isn't $2 trillion. - TB - 8/28/2009 5:11:30 PM
        
        Let's try this. There are people on these boards living with single-payer health insurance. - Bowser - 8/28/2009 5:24:43 PM
    - someday ;) (n/t) - Jody - 8/28/2009 2:27:46 PM
