When This Starts to Make Sense ...

When I first saw references to coining a trillion dollar coin to cope with our deficits and debt, I assumed it was a joke. Apparently, this is an option raised in all seriousness. WTF.

What the heck, why not just pass a law declaring Monopoly money to be United States currency? I mean, who doesn't have a game or three lying around their home? Now that would be a stimulus, huh? Every household would get a lot of money to stimulate retailers.

It is an option superior to the coin one in that it at least spreads the pretend wealth around.

If you think some of our leaders aren't stupid enough to look for a solution like this, guess again. They're that stupid.
