I`ve concluded this on the basis that they seriously thought of minting Trillion dollar coins and rolling them down the street to pay off the national debt without realizing it would collapse the fiat paper currency system in a nanosecond 100%.
Will it have Moochelle on one side? Each pound representing part of the trillion value?

Nuts? Maybe. Absolutely beyond question incompetent? YES!
It's like "deeming" a bill to have passed.
Or declaring a huge spending proposal a "tax" because it originated in the Senate.
Politicians do what they want, through any means necessary. They are playing a game by pretending to do things "in accordance with some law" when in reality they are just giving us the finger and ruling over us like little lords.
He should hire Zimbabwe’s currency design team.
This is every teeny bopper’s answer to their high school econ teachers question ‘how do we solve the debt crisis’.
Why even mint the coin. Just hit the delete button and its gone!
Yep. And they did so at the suggestion of the liberal lunatic Paul Krugman of The New York Times:

They stole the trillion dollar coin idea from Bo Gritz:

“He should hire Zimbabwes currency design team.”
Exactly!!!
Bo Gritz of Ruby Ridge fame?
LOL - Thanks for the laugh.
EXACTLY TRUE !!
THat would make this 'two bit government' grossly
overpaid, and not worth the electrons inconvieneced !!
Yes.
I gave my wife 100 Billion Dollars for Christmas a few years ago (one Zimbabwe note - $100,000,000,000).
It’s on the wall in her office.
I could have paid about $2.50 more and purchased a 100 Trillion bill, but the reference to the Austin Powers made us laugh. I believe it was $5.00 on eBay with shipping.
She understands a bit more about bad governments and inflation now. A great gift!
“Batshit” F’n nuts? Please use the term with respect.

You big tipper you.. Ohhh gruuuuuu vaaaay.
Hmmm, that would be a 21,000 ton gold coin. I want one!
