Throwing Good Money After Bad

Everybody always talks about how we shouldn’t throw good money after bad. But if we don’t, then who will go catch the bad money? That bad money will just go into Ponzi schemes, pay for terrorism, or go spend itself on illegal drugs and prostitution. If we don’t catch it, it will do all kinds of bad things that will adversely affect us all! So what better way to go catch that bad money than to send some good money after it? Hey, we know it’s good, right? So let’s deputize it to go arrest that evil bad money! After all, who can think like money better than other money? It’s just common sense. Then, when we send the good money after the bad money, it can bring it back in, and we can try to rehabilitate it by spending it on charity work, or by putting it in investment jail. (Or we could launder it to try to clean it up!)

I’m surprised everyone is against doing this, but then again, maybe they’re all secretly criminals, and they’re sending a coded message to encourage money to go bad, and that there will be no consequences for it. So I say we should send good money after bad money, and if we throw it, it will catch up to it faster. So it is a good idea after all, and everyone who says otherwise is wrong, and quite possibly corrupt. (And we’re onto you now! So there.)
