"Money Doesn't Grow on Trees", or Does It?

"Money Doesn't Grow on Trees", or Does It?

The proverbeal cliche that we try to teach our kids about not wasting money brings up a couple interesting thoughts. Perhaps money "Does" grow on trees, contrary to what we are told...

Certainly president Obama thinks that money does grow on trees, or at least made from chinese rice paper, as Obama has done nothing but spend and waste the American taxpayers (and childrens) future! Disgusting... Obama's parents should have told him this cliche, but instead his marxist teachings ingrained the idea that the "government entitlement tit" IS the tree that grows money... "get all you can, and spend it on waste and fraud as you deserve...". Impeach this jerk out of office, or at least vote him out!

But yes, in many ways, money does grow on trees! There is the Silver Dollar Eucalyptus Tree, and a species of Jacaranda commonly known as the Money Tree, and there may be others as well. Other than these few trees, the money that grows on the trees is not money per se, but rather the fruit and wood products that we exchange using money.

Ever eat an apple? How about cherries? What about all of the many varieties of fruits we gather from fruit-bearing trees? Every farmer and consumer knows that fruit (trees) are money (well exchanged for such anyways). Where would we be without fruit trees? A delicious thought to ponder...

And though not money per se, trees are exchanged for money when the thousands of forest products we use are picked (or harvested). Wood and paper obviously, but a large variety of chemicals and other products are made as well.

And certainly, in our regard, money does grow on trees, or rather, trees are money. Since we are a tree nursery, we exchange trees for money... So from a biased perspective, the cliche holds true, at least for us...
