Sen. Reid goes to a local GM dealer in Washington, D.C. with the
intention of buying a brand new vehicle. Harry looks around and
finds one he likes. After going back and forth with the
salesman, Harry settles on a price of $45,000.
Harry and the salesman go back to the office to complete the
paperwork. Harry works out a 4-year payment plan, and signs on the
bottom line. The salesman shakes Harry's hand and says, "Thanks
Senator Reid, the car will be ready for pickup in 4 years."
Harry says, "What are you talking about? Where are the keys to
my new car?"
The salesman replies, "No, you don't understand Senator. You make
payments for 4 years... THEN we give you the car. You know, just
like your health plan".
Harry, with a choking voice, says to the salesman, "But that's
not fair".
And the salesman says, "No kidding!"
