Has Trump ever expressed an opinion on #MintTheCoin ? Seems like the kind of thing he'd like because it means he doesn't have to deal with Congress as much.

Endless vacuous blather about primarying Biden over his age rather than his repeated surrenders to Republican ransoms on the country.

If the debt ceiling compromise bill goes down because of the giveaways and corruption attached to it; then Biden and Yellen will have no choice but to #mintthecoin unless they can persuade the fantastically corrupt #SCOTUS to provide a clear ruling on the 14th amendment hack within the week.

reminder that #Biden did NOT have to do this deal, he could have used the 14th amendment or #MintTheCoin. He chose this horrible deal.

Biden better have #MintTheCoin on standby.
Either McCarthy won't be able to deliver the votes - or the GOP will slip in some poison pills.

I know the various “history repeats as farce” aphorisms but I really hope we don’t follow the Moron Global Pandemic with the Great Depression For The Dumbest Possible Reason

CW: Long thread/9
Of course, there are lots of other possibilities: Biden could issue an #ExecutiveOrder to the effect that the Debt Ceiling violates the #14thAmendment. Or that it violates the #ContractsClause. Or he could order the Treasury to start issuing #CouponFreeBonds. Or he could just #MintTheCoin:
https://www.theverge.com/2023/5/23/23734654/government-debt-default-trillion-dollar-platinum-coin
Yes, each of these would end up in front of the (degraded, corrupt, illegitimate, partisan) Supreme Court, who would very likely strike them down.

"the debt ceiling is the real gimmick. it allows republicans to feign interest in the deficit".. #MintTheCoin

Biden and the #WeimarDemocrats believe that agreeing to draconian cuts to what is left of the American social safety net is the only way to avert a crash. In fact, it is just a different path to a crash. #MintTheCoin

#MintTheCoin (apparently the Treasury/Fed can't figure out how to sell high interest or interest only premium bonds. So this is the solution

Good morning everyone! Who wants to start the day with a deep dive into monetary policy and 31 USC 5112(k) and how it can be used to avoid separation of powers litigation🥳 🥳
OK maybe not selling it there. But nevertheless, here we go...
How to do it. How it works. And why the President's 14th Amendment Plan to beat the #debtceiling is the wrong tool for the job.
