But three cheers for our Unmighty Dollars -- print as many as you like. They're already worth Nothing, so they can't go down in value.

CASH FOR KILOWATTS




The White House is reportedly contemplating a new program, officially labeled the Energy Security and Economic Stability Act, which authorizes the burning of excess paper greenbacks to fuel the Capitol power plant.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs explained that the program will save the taxpayers the cost of storing all the unwanted quadrillions of paper dollars created by the Federal Reserve, while helping reduce the pollution from the coal-fired plant that produces power for the Capitol.

"Storing money costs money," Gibbs said. "The President is committed to fiscal measures that will limit taxes on the middle class while reducing our dependence on fossil fuels."

Paul Krugman, Nobel prize-winning economist and New York Times pundit, applauded the President's plan.

"Burning excess dollars will make the value of everybody's dollars go up," explained Krugman, in a display of the economic wisdom that won him the Nobel. "But we have to be careful to burn just the right amount," he added.

Congressional Democrats have been generally supportive of the idea, only seeking to limit the burning to denominations of a hundred dollars and up. They complained that burning too many of the smaller denominations like fives, tens and twenties would hurt the working poor.

Republicans sought a bi-partisan compromise. "We have been shut out of this process. We want a say in how much money is burned and when," explained a GOP spokesman.
