A reader points out a very interesting loophole in the debt ceiling debate that would give the US Treasury the ability to tell the US Congress to take their fearmongering and shove it you know where. Reader “Beowulf” notes: “No, Tsy isn’t authorized to just “print” money, the Federal Reserve Act gives that power to the Fed, However, the Coinage Act grants the Secretary of the Treasury rather broad coin seigniorage authority. Geithner could sidestep the debt ceiling this afternoon by ordering the West Point Mint to coin a 1 oz. $ 1 trillion coin. Tsy can then present the jumbo coins at the NY Fed to buy back $1 trillion in Fed-held debt (the Fed has to accept it, a creditor can’t refuse legal tender paid in to settle a debt): (h) The coins issued under this title shall be legal tender… (k) The Secretary may mint and issue platinum bullion coins and proof platinum coins in accordance with such specifications, designs, varieties, quantities, denominations, and inscriptions as the Secretary, in the Secretary’s discretion, may prescribe from time to time.” The simple threat of doing this would end this debate right here and right now. It’s time for Congress to stop playing Russian roulette with the US economy. If you want to take a stand on spending then do so before you pass legislation that causes us to run up into the debt ceiling. Don’t use some phony law to try to scare people into thinking that we are Greece (something that’s entirely impossible anyhow).

Wrong. Social Security started running an annual deficit this year and will continue to do so as the baby boomers flood into the system. It's broke.
No it's not broke, it has a $2.6 trillion dollar surplus. (wouldn't Wall Street high rollers love to get their hands on that! What percentage do you think they'd take in bonuses?)
Von Mises associates any Government involvement in markets as "Socialism" , to mislead people into thinking Government is the enemy , when infact empire is the enemy and empire is Privatized.
Not hanging out with drunks, I wouldn't know what that might be. What I do know is that if we don't pay our bills, we've broken our word.

You are a complete moron.
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” The State can no longer hide the consequences of their 100-year lie. VERY interesting times are ahead.

Hey, whiningold/loonymom, what are your qualifications to diagnose Aspergers? Or is it just a reflexive device used to avoid debate? You and your 'shadow' are always posting in tandem.
war has to do something for entertainment. The voices in his head aren't speaking to him and his imaginary friends have found reasons not to come over anymore.

war has to do something for entertainment. The voices in his head aren't speaking to him and his imaginary friends have found reasons not to come over anymore.
You're exactly correct, LM. Oh, and Almost forgot this... Remember Way back when, bush43 had just Stolen his 2nd Slection with 8 Million Born Again Fundies coming from Outer Space to vote for the very first time? And then not two months later comes out and says, 'I've got Political Capital and I'm going to spend it'? What was he going to do? PRIVATIZE SS and give it to WALL ST....LMFAO " Not while I'm President. I'll fight with everything I've got to stop those who would gamble your Social Security on Wall Street." Yet a month later when I questioned David Plouffe about the President's committment to Social Security at the Harkin Steak Fry, I got a non-answer that made chills run up my spine..."They want to weaken and destroy it. We want to fix it." Try that answer on someone who doesn't know that it doesn't need fixing because it ain't broke, and who went to school back when they taught us how to diagram sentences so we can decypher what those who look at the trust fund with a lustful, impure eye are really saying: "In order to avoid future benefit cuts, we must cut future benefits. Ditto raising the retirement age." Didn't we put some people in military prison for destroying villages in order to save them? The fact of the matter is, Social Security is not only not responsible for our deficit woes, it is independent of the deficit /and/ it is solvent for decades. Period. Full stop. That CBO report finds that the Social Security OAS (Old Age/Survivors) Trust Fund, without changing a thing, will be able to make full payouts through 2039 -- it should also be noted that the full payout projections have been pushed downward by the economic downturn of the last couple of years, and those numbers should start moving the other way as the economy recovers. And if that isn't the case, we have a lot bigger problems than Social Security coming down the pike. And even if the trust fund were to run out, Social Security would still be in pretty good shape. The OAS Trust Fund, established with the Social Security Amendments of 1939, is considered to be fully funded (in SS Speak in 'Short Term Actuarial Balance') if it has reserves equal to 100% of the next year's cost. As it turns out it fell out of balance in 1971 and despite some tweaks in 1977 continued to fall until it flirted with zero in 1982. Which led to the creation of the Greenspan Commission and its two part fix. The first part was intended to put the Trust Fund back in Short Term Balance, a task that was complete by 1993. The second part was to build the Trust Fund sufficiently over that minimum to fund benefits ON AVERAGE over the next 75 years. That was pretty successful as well, leaving the current Trust Fund with a ratio of 390 (almost 4 years of reserve) , but in any event it was ALWAYS the plan to draw down the excess as needed to help fund the demographic challenge of the Boomers. The last boomers will retire in 2029, ten years before the trust fund is currently projected to be depleted, and four years before it fails the 100% test (per SSA numbers which vary a little from CBO's).
Every American owes $50,000 in current debt and $500,000 in future obligations. $500,000 -- that's $2 million for every family of four. The median household income is about $50,000 a year. Do the math. This can't possibly be paid. Not only do we have to stop borrowing money now, we also have to remove Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid from entitlement status. They should be funded each year based on our ability to pay, not based on some automatic formula.

You want to give the money I put into it to Wall Street which proved 3 years ago it wasn't up to the task. But the US debt is used as a source of income silly. It's sold all over the world. Why debt's been at the center of one of the most popular and profitable business models for the last 25 years, the bankers say so.

Remember that these agencies have never forecast anything of importance (neither subprime, nor the global crisis, nor the Greek crisis, nor the Arab Spring, ...). If they downgrade willy nilly today it’s because they have been caught at their own game (22). It’s no longer possible to downgrade A without affecting B’s rating if B is no better off. The "assumptions" on the fact that it’s impossible for any particular state to default on its debt have not withstood three years of crisis: this is where Wall Street and the City have fallen into the trap which threatens all aspiring sorcerers’ apprentices. They have not seen it would be impossible for them to control the hysteria kept up over Greek debt. So today it’s the US Congress, with the bitter debate on the debt ceiling and massive budget cuts, that the consequences of the misleading articles in recent months about Greece and the Eurozone enlarge. Once again, our team can only stress that if history has any sense, it’s certainly a sense of irony.
You've been given the chance to prove your assertions but you continually come up empty. YOU are the one who needs to prove that your 'new improved' theories will work, not the other way around.

Nope. I'm finished wasting time doing any research for you and your lunatic leftist buddies, because you are unteachable. So, just roll another one and toke away hippie.
Not only is this idea crazy, it's flat-out STUPID. Unless made of $1T of precious metals, it would simply be another form of fiat money. In REAL terms, a $1T gold coin would weigh 40453074.4 pounds. This, by the way, works out to the approximate weight of not one, but two Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruisers, as shown here: Were it made out of platinum, it would weigh 36231884.0579 pounds- the same mass as the Spanish aircraft carrier Spanish aircraft carrier Principe de Asturias, below: Were you to have an inkling of economics, you'd already know that... On a more basic level, Geithner has been in the pocket of the big banks for years. The Federal Reserve is owned by those same big banks... You think Geithner- little pus-bag that he is- would ever do anything against the will of the banks?

Ming/loonymom, where you are concerned, everybody is in a position to teach you. You exhibit the typical leftist (i.e., socialist "useful idiot") traits of being both brutally stupid, and proud of your stupidity. Especially since you can't even define your goals much less prove your theories. Proof is posted here, daily, which effectively eviscerates your pathetic, nonsensical positions. So you choose to ignore the proof, because it's better- and easier- for you to live in the delusions of your mind, then face reality. But hey, that's what it takes to be a leftist- gross ignorance of reality, or the refusal to accept reality, once it is presented. The failure is all yours, ming/loonymom. With every post, with every statement you make, you demonstrate that you are incapable of facing reality. You live in sound-bites, preferring the more interesting fiction of the leftist-MSM news, than real life. Chayefsky was talking about people like YOU, ming/loonymom, when he wrote: [laughing to himself] But, man, you're never going to get any truth from us. We'll tell you anything you want to hear; we lie like hell. We'll tell you that, uh, Kojak always gets the killer, or that nobody ever gets cancer at Archie Bunker's house, and no matter how much trouble the hero is in, don't worry, just look at your watch; at the end of the hour he's going to win. We'll tell you any shit you want to hear. We deal in *illusions*, man! None of it is true! But you people sit there, day after day, night after night, all ages, colors, creeds... We're all you know. You're beginning to believe the illusions we're spinning here. You're beginning to think that the tube is reality, and that your own lives are unreal. You do whatever the tube tells you! You dress like the tube, you eat like the tube, you raise your children like the tube, you even *think* like the tube! This is mass madness, you maniacs! In God's name, you people are the real thing! *WE* are the illusion! “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.

Television is not the truth! Television is a God-damned amusement park! Television is a circus, a carnival, a traveling troupe of acrobats, storytellers, dancers, singers, jugglers, side-show freaks, lion tamers, and football players. We're in the boredom-killing business! So if you want the truth... Go to God! Go to your gurus! Go to yourselves! Because that's the only place you're ever going to find any real truth.
