Monopoly Money Valid Currency

Washington - As part of a government initiative to preserve and sustain America's financial system and economy, President Bush announced this morning that stores across the nation will accept Monopoly money as valid currency.
The financial problems which originated in the credit markets have spread throughout our financial system enough to distress the population to a point where serious action needs to take place. As a final act of honor during his tenure as president, Mr. Bush has decided to give everyone a get out of jail free card and get the most out of the Parker Brothers game.

“This is a fun country, and I want everyone to be in the game,” President Bush said with a wink.

The new plan also stretched a hand to low-income neighborhoods that will be able to use money from the game Opoply as a legitimate form of payment, although each bill will be given half the value of a real Monopoly dollar.

“When we’re not making enough money, you have to get it from somewhere. And this stuff doesn’t grow on trees you, know?” Mr. Bush said amid rounds of applause.

Since the early morning announcement, consumers have been flocking to stores to pile up on Holiday gifts, gas, and additional game pieces.
