Can Trillion Dollar Coins Save the Economy?

The platinum in the trillion dollar coin does not have to equal the value of the platinum contained in it. It could weigh one ounce with a face value of $1 trillion. To be sure there are problems using the platinum coin "solution" but failure to raise the debt ceiling has equal perhaps more problems associated with it. The $16 trillion in debt was created by Congress and to not raise it is not only stupid but refusing to take responsibility for their actions. If we want to have a discussion about the budget deficits and the merits of closing them by increasing taxes/cutting spending (austerity) then we can have it, but to hold our economy hostage for the debt they created is insane.
I think it's time we have another game of buzz-word bingo.

Hold the economy hostage, fiscal cliff, kicking the can, assault weapon....please, stop saying stupid things.
 
A default on our debt is what threatens everyones job. How are we going to reduce the deficit if we are all out of work?

How are we going to reduce the debt when your President just ignored spending cuts and has been setting new records of defecit spending for the last 4 years ?

So your so concerned with the debt that you re-elected Obama ?

I wish you libs would be a bit more sincere when it comes to the millions of Americans that are struggling right now.

O.K. change "hold economy hostage" to destroy the world economy. Now say something meaningful instead of being snippy.
