In a bold move to address the nation's soaring inflation, President Joe Biden has signed an executive order to make ice cream more affordable for all Americans. The order, which will take effect immediately, will provide subsidies to ice cream manufacturers and retailers, helping to drive down prices for consumers.
"Ice cream is a staple in American households," Biden said in a signing ceremony at the White House. "But with inflation at a 40-year high, many Americans are struggling to afford this delicious treat. That's why I'm taking action today to make ice cream more affordable for everyone."
The executive order also includes a number of other measures to help Americans save money on ice cream, such as:
- Expanding access to ice cream food stamps
- Creating a new tax credit for ice cream purchases
- Establishing a national ice cream reserve to ensure that there is always a supply of affordable ice cream available
- Launching a public awareness campaign to educate Americans about the importance of eating ice cream
The order was met with praise from ice cream lovers across the country.
"I'm so grateful to President Biden for taking action to make ice cream more affordable," said Sarah Johnson, a single mother of two. "I used to only be able to afford to buy ice cream for my kids on special occasions. But now, with these new subsidies, I can afford to buy them ice cream all the time."
However, some critics argued that the order was a waste of taxpayer money and that it would do nothing to address the underlying causes of inflation.
"This is just another example of Biden's out-of-touch policies," said Republican Senator Ted Cruz. "He's more interested in giving away free ice cream than he is in addressing the real problems facing the American people."
Despite the criticism, Biden defended the order, saying that it was necessary to help Americans cope with the rising cost of living.
"Everyone deserves to enjoy a scoop of ice cream from time to time," he said. "And this executive order will make sure that everyone can afford to do so, regardless of their income."
In a related story, the White House announced that Biden has appointed a new Ice Cream Czar to oversee the implementation of the executive order. The Czar, who has not yet been named, will be responsible for ensuring that all Americans have access to affordable ice cream.
