In a surprise announcement this morning, freshman congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez declared her plans to radically transform the American economy by replacing the US Dollar with toilet paper.

Ocasio-Cortez, who is known for her progressive, outsider approach to fiscal policy, spoke with enthusiasm about the plan's potential to transform how money works. "T.P. will be our universal currency, and offer a unique substitute to traditional money," she told reporters.

The ambitious young congresswoman continued on to express her hope that the move would be a truly revolutionary one. “Try to imagine a world where all our transactions are done in a paper-based medium," she suggested, "It will be a new golden age of technology and innovation."

Ocasio-Cortez may have her critics, but you have to admit – who else could even come up with an idea like this?
