After being handcuffed and placed in a cruiser, Downs reportedly said, “I don’t give a ****, all these other bitches get to print money so I can too.

In an interview at the jail, Downs admitted to printing the money in her apartment, stating that she read online that President Obama had made a new law permitting her to print her own money because she is on a fixed income.

House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Oh) called the proposed legislation “tantamount to legalized counterfeiting,” but suggested he might support the bill if it were altered so that only the very wealthy were allowed to print their own money.
