Although is a crazy but viable idea. Here’s another one that might work. The Fed volunteering to to retire some debt to free up money to borrow or something like that. I don’t think it’s frightening at all. Anyway, I’m in favor of anything that’ll end Republican hostage taking forever.

President Biden should direct the Treasury to mint that trillion dollar platinum coin, deposit it, and pay the bills, he’s constitutionally (14th Amendment) required to do. And end Republican hostage taking forever.

Representative Timmons (SC 4th District): Would you accept a trillion-dollar coin?

Powell: A trillion dollar coin solution to the debt ceiling crisis would be a 'rabbit out of a hat' and there are no rabbit out of hat solutions.

It is just paying your existing debts.

Does the Supreme Court really want to be getting into granting what is effectively taxpayer standing to somebody, and issuing an injunction, saying Treasury, don't pay your debts?
