Frankly, with Agenda 21, elimination of Man as its object (in general), “To Serve Man” is apt.

It’s not the collapse of US that’s intended, it the death of US all.

Except ‘them.’

[Ole Okie]

Economic collapse starts when a coin accidentally rolls off the counting table and disappears down a drainage grate.

Yeah, a tragedy! An entire year's deficit down the sewer.

Garcon!! Mint another trillion dollar coin!

Otherwise, they are perpetrating fraud.

And we SURELY don't want that!

Congress, not the Bureau of the Mint, has the power “to coin money, and regulate the value thereof”.

Yup.
And Zero is openly an unashamedly trying to bypass that, without amending the Constitution.

It’s an impeachable offense.

[xzins]

Fraud is actionable.

I was afraid they were going to do something like that. I joked once, “make a 100 trillion dollar bill” and pay everything off.”

Oh that wee thing belongs in the West Island of NZ...

The North Island and the South Island...even Stewart Island have much bigger ones than that one...

and all the Hen and Chicken Islands have ones that put that puny thing to shame...

and the NZ wallabies are much bigger...

One could kick that Red Kanga’s butt...

What movie is that from?

[PLMerite]

It’s telling that the most impressive thing they can think of to put on their money is a pile of rocks.

[PLMerite]

I just watched that movie tonight for the first time.

It was scary.

Twilight Zone episode “To Serve Man.” available on Hulu, IIRC.

It should be OK as long as they make the coins really, really big.

At the Federal Reserve...

Bob says: “Hey Herb...have you seen those $1 trillion coins I had out to weigh? I thought I had them on the counter right here.”

Herb, swallowing a Lance cheese cracker and popping the top on the Coke he just bought from the vending machine, says: “No, Bob...are you sure you had them out of the safe? Hey sorry. I forgot to ask you if you wanted anything from the break room.”

Always with die große Lüge and trying to pull the next big fast one, when will the Dems figure out that they can't trust other Dems (and really never could), and that they are as screwed as the rest of us?

[wastoute]

Why donn’t they just mint a one quadrillion dollar coin out of dog crap while they are at it...

[Elsie]

Only if someone initiates it.

[Elsie]

It’s a Twilight Zone episode.

Notice that US gold coins - real 1oz ones - have a face value of $20 yet cost some ~$1500 to buy.
This has led to some rather interesting economic/tax consequences.
