“I’m Not Worried About Inflation,” says Man with Meager Piggy Bank

DAKOTA – Despite an inflation rate of about 8% and the ever-weakening purchasing power of the US Dollar, one man isn’t worried about money in the slightest. “Oh, I got money. Don’t you worry about it,” said Mario Manzoni, as he gave his piggy bank (which is really just a cup) a reassuring pat. Manzoni told reporters that he has been saving his spare change for about three years now and recalled that most of the coins are the ones with the ugly president on them. “There’s no telling how much money I got in here, probably enough to last me the winter.” At press time, Manzoni was reported to have been seen at his local Walmart and witnesses said that he chose to take the 11.9% fee for the cash.
