In a surprise move that has left both economists and the general public scratching their heads, President Biden has announced a bold new initiative to combat inflation. The plan, dubbed "Biden Bucks for Better Budgets," calls for the immediate issuance of $2 trillion worth of brand-new, super-sized $100 bills, each featuring a portrait of the president himself.
"These new Biden Bucks will not only stimulate the economy but also help Americans cope with the rising cost of living," declared Biden during a press conference at the White House. "Each household will receive a direct deposit of $10,000 worth of Biden Bucks, which they can use to buy groceries, gas, or even a new car."
When asked about concerns that the influx of new money could further exacerbate inflation, Biden dismissed them as "fake news" and "Republican talking points." He insisted that the Biden Bucks would have the opposite effect, injecting much-needed cash into the economy and driving down prices.
"These Biden Bucks are the key to unlocking America's full potential," Biden proclaimed. "With these new bills in circulation, we'll be able to build back better, stronger than ever before."
However, many economists are skeptical about Biden's claims. "This is just another example of the president's reckless economic policies," said one economist, who wished to remain anonymous. "Printing more money will only lead to higher inflation and a weaker dollar."
Despite the concerns of economists, the public seems to be on board with Biden's plan. A recent poll found that over 80% of Americans support the issuance of Biden Bucks. "I'm tired of making ends meet," said one poll respondent. "These Biden Bucks will finally give me some breathing room."
Whether Biden Bucks will be the economic miracle that the president promises or a disastrous experiment remains to be seen. But one thing is for sure: they will definitely make for some interesting conversation around the dinner table.
