WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a move that experts said could finally resolve the deficit crisis once and for all, congressional Republicans unveiled a new debt plan to transfer the balance to a Capital One credit card with a 0% intro APR.
The revolutionary idea suddenly dawned on lawmakers after decades of negotiations and stress over the nation's seemingly insurmountable debt. Sources said the plan could be traced back to one GOP senator catching a Capital One commercial while watching CSI: Vegas on his cell phone during an important committee hearing.
"The answer to our problems has been right in front of us the whole time," said Senator Tom Cotton. "The commercial said we can get a 0% introductory APR! How great is that? We can't pass up the chance to put a big dent in our national debt by simply transferring the balance onto a Capital One card. Everyone knows rolling your debt into another credit card fixes everything, so why not do it on a national scale?"
Other legislators were quick to jump on board with the plan. "Honestly, we're a little embarrassed that we didn't come up with this sooner," said Congressman Dan Crenshaw. "Someone finally realized we could roll all of it into a low-interest credit card. It's such an obvious and easy fix. I couldn't believe my eye."

LOL. That’s funny.
Or if Federal Govt made all Govt purchases on their capital one rewards card, they could get 2% cash-back!
That would be $120 billion!
The bee finally topped themselves
Or the govt can run up credit card debt, not pay the bills, then call Dave Ramsey so he can tell them how to negotiate down a settlement “for pennies on the dollar”. LOL
Wasn’t there a plan, to deposit a trillion dollar coin into the treasury bank account?
Can’t they pay off the national debt with 36 of those coins?
Sarcasm......
Make sure they don’t charge a “transfer fee”, usually 4-5%!
Put the entire 37 trillion on it. Get 740 billion cash back. LOL
It’s almost a better idea than any other they have come up with yet.
“I couldn’t believe my eye”
That’s funny right there
But the democrats maxed out the card none left to do so.
