      Biden and the dems should just do it. Fuck this GOP bullshit. It's better than a goddamned default.

        I regret to inform you that the headline I linked to is:

        The White House says no to minting a $1 trillion coin to sidestep McConnell and ease debt ceiling standoff in Congress

        So we are once again in the :liberalism: zone.

          An economic advisor to the president calls home. "Honey, we're fucked. Biden said no to the silly but workable plan of minting a one trillion dollar coin. He told me 'Fat, when I was a boy we knew knew how to squeeze all the juice outta wooden nickels to make a better treehouse...' No, I have no idea what that means."
