An economics student asks his professor to explain how the stimulus will help the economy. The professor replies that he doesn't have time to explain it now, but if the student will come by his house in the evening he will do his best to explain it.
The student shows up that night and the professor asks him to help him with an issue in his pool first. "Take this bucket and fill it with as much water as you can from the deep end of the pool. Then, carry it around and pour it into the shallow end."
Confused, the student complies, but quickly becomes frustrated. Finally he puts down the bucket and says, "This is pointless! I've been doing this over and over again and now I'm tired. Besides, it hasn't changed anything!"
The professor smiles and says, "Exactly."
