Under a plan more brilliant than a solar-powered flashlight, President Joe Biden has declared July "National Ice Cream Month," promising free ice cream cones for every American. Move over, New Deal—this is the real dairy deal!
In a press conference where Biden seemed just a tad too excited about waffle cones, he announced, “Folks, we’re in tough times. But if there’s one thing that unites us all, it’s ice cream. Let’s boost our morale one scoop at a time!”
Political analysts are scratching their heads, trying to determine if this is a clever ploy to distract from recent polls or just Biden’s lifelong passion for frozen treats finally melting into policy. “It’s genius,” said one anonymous source. “Nothing says ‘vote for me’ like a free Rocky Road.”
The White House quickly rolled out the logistics, which seem to have been devised during a sugar high. Each citizen will receive a government-issued Ice Cream Voucher, redeemable at participating ice cream shops. There are, of course, rules: only one cone per day, no double scooping, and sprinkles will be strictly monitored to prevent what the administration is calling “topping abuse.”
Critics are already up in arms, suggesting this is nothing more than a brain freeze solution to deeper issues. “This is just another example of Biden trying to buy votes with empty calories,” said a spokesperson for the opposition. “What’s next, National Cake Month?”
Biden, however, remains unfazed. “Come on, man, who doesn’t love ice cream?” he said, confidently brandishing a cone of Mint Chocolate Chip. He later admitted that his preferred flavor is actually Vanilla, but aides whispered that it’s all part of his strategy to appeal to the broadest base possible.
Meanwhile, conspiracy theories are churning on social media. Some claim this is a sinister plot to track citizens via their ice cream consumption. Others suggest it’s a distraction tactic to keep people too full of dessert to notice rising inflation.
Local ice cream parlors are bracing for the onslaught. “We’re already seeing lines out the door,” said the owner of a Washington, D.C. ice cream shop. “If this keeps up, we might have to hire extra scoopers and maybe a bouncer.”
Economists warn that the increased demand for ice cream could lead to a shortage of essential ingredients like sugar and dairy. One economist quipped, “This could be a sticky situation.”The public reaction is mixed but mostly sweet. “I’m not sure how this will fix the economy, but hey, free ice cream!” said one enthusiastic citizen, clutching a cone of Cookies and Cream.
As the month progresses, one thing is clear: Biden’s ice cream initiative is the cherry on top of his administration’s efforts to connect with everyday Americans. Whether it’s a political masterstroke or just a brain freeze, one thing’s for sure: this summer, everyone’s getting a scoop of democracy. And so, as Americans line up for their daily dose of free frozen joy, the country remains divided on many issues—but united in the love of ice cream.
