Moose-money! Ameros!
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, such a kidder, wrote a letter to K-Mac:
Dear Mr. Speaker:
I write to keep you apprised of actions the Treasury Department is taking in regard to the debt limit. In my letter of January 13, 2023, I noted that Public Law 117-73 increased the statutory
debt limit to a level of $31.381 trillion, and informed you that beginning on January 19, the outstanding debt of the United States was projected to reach the statutory limit. This letter serves to notify you, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 8348(1)(2), of the extraordinary measures Treasury began using today….I respectfully urge Congress to act promptly to protect the full faith and credit of the United States.
“If your inbred, mouth-breathing hooligans from Possum Hollar can sober-up and put on their shoes,” Yellen did not say, “we can end this shitshow right now, asshole, before your vandals and miscreants destroy the world economy.”
Mock Paper Scissors 
It’s what needs to be said, loudly and in public and for the record. Not that it would motivate any of the Rethugs, but at least the truth being spoken would be like of breath of clean air.

I honest-to-Dog think that there’s a not inconsiderable number of them who think that the US going bankrupt would be a good thing; it’s worked out so well for their Mango Messiah.

I may be reading this wrong, but that might be unconstitutional. In fact, the whole debt ceiling thing, and whatever legislation drives it might be unconstitutional.
(sorry, I seem to always be late to the party – but still)

The Neo-Confederates of the modern GQP really like to memory-hole the 14th amendment…it also prohibits anyone who has participated in a rebellion against the United States from holding Federal office of any kind. which disqualifies a fair number of them after Jan 6th 2021…

It also disqualifies any federal debts incurred in the execution of an insurrection (against the U.S., that is)

I think that the Platinum Coin would rank as one of Joe Cool’s great accomplishments.
