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.

If you attempt to print money, and your results are so embarrassingly bad they can be spotted from over 20 feet away (like...say, maybe you put a picture of George W. Bush on it) you get a week in the county jail if you promise to never try printing money again.
