Dissolving Money: A Solution to the Recession?

Hey, we keep hearing it from Democrats: rich people don’t spend their money, so they don’t help the economy. So why not create a new kind of money: money that will dissolve within one year? Spend it or lose it! That way everyone would have to spend it and it would stimulate the economy! Oh, but I guess rich people would find someone in Switzerland or the Cayman Islands to spray the money with some secret formula of preservatives that will make it last longer, huh? And then every bank and store would have to have a scanner to detect these substances to catch cheaters. And that would cost a lot. But hey: that’s more money in the economy to develop all this stuff! So it would work after all! See? I told you!

Unless someone like Sleeping Beauty saved up a lot and got a curse put on her or something: then she’d lose everything! And then all kinds of creeps and perverts would be sneaking in and trying to kiss her “to wake her up”. (Yeah, right! I’m on to those “princes”! They just want her money, and to cop a feel!) So maybe we could exempt Disney princesses for now.

(I could see the government passing something stupid like this: anything to keep from solving real problems!)
