Time for Treasury to Mint the Trillion Dollar Coin

Enough is fucking enough. It's way past time to quit trying to reason or "compromise" with the Repukes in the House.

Use the fucking coin to bypass the phony unconstitutional "debt ceiling" bull-shit, and use it to completely fund implementation of the Affordable Care Act.

You're not bypassing Congress...THEY'VE ALREADY OBLIGATED TO SPEND THE MONEY.

Not only would it enable us to get some shit done, avoid this "government by crisis management" horseshit, but, it would also send a message to the fucking T-baggers that were done dealing with their ass-hatted freak show

Ya' know, at one time, when a group of intractable ass-pickles were sworn to destroy the United States of America, we fought a bloody war, surely we can take this Constitutional step to fight the current pricks who have freely admitted they want to destroy our country.

This seems like reasonable economic theory to people with critical thinking skills. But then you hand it to Hannity and Limbaugh. Suddenly, Obama stole a trillion dollars from the evil communist socialist fascist gay lesbian French welfare mothers, and we're on the fast track to Stupidville.

and to ensure the "full faith and credit" of America.

At the least, if they want to gut funding for Social Security, Medicare, the Social Safety Net the Military, the Justice Department, etc...then they should at least have to vote to gut those programs.

Compromising with these fucks will never accomplish anything, other than having them dig their heels deeper into the backs of the Middle Class and Poor.

It's time to quit trying to polish that turd.
