One of the weirdest policy proposals is where you put an expiration date on cash, to encourage spending.

ooh I’ve played with that one, it also fits well with some basic income proposals

I think the weirdest I’ve seen is this combined with a system where your funding for next year depends on how much you spend this year. It pretty much discourages saving money entirely, since any money left at the end of the year gets taken away AND you get less money next year.
