WildWestDays2008: Subprime Sam -- or -- Sammynomics

Sammy showed how to avoid a banking breakdown by showing how it was done in the west while at the Viroqua Wild West Days. When a would be sub-prime borrower came in (played by Paul's sister Anne), Sammy refused to lend her the money...even when she pulled out her six-shooters.


Sammy refuses to lend money and/or be robbed...


He quickly ran over to the safe and slammed it shut...
...a bank can't lose money if it won't loan it...
...maybe Freddie Mac and Sallie Mae should take a play from that book...


A shareholder (played by Diane) feels that her money is safe in Sammy's bank...
...even if it doesn't gain any interest...
