There isn't enough platinum on the planet to cover the debt.

I like the idea of a giant rubber coin. It seems particularly appropriate today.

No matter what they do, the US debt can never be paid off, and they are just printing/creating money -- either with the Fed buying treasuries or minting silly trillion dollar coins.

Somebody working in that administration should read up on the German war debt, the Weimar Republic and hyperinflation. And about how they then elected a decorated war hero who loved animals, was a vegetarian, and was a charismatic speaker.

Our debt is so high that the inevitable monetary inflation will make the Weimar Reichsmark seem rock-solid by comparison. Just don’t leave your wheelbarrow outside the store while you go in to purchase food scraps with a ton of worthless notes.
