So, which Paul Krugman idea does everyone like better:

A. Minting one trillion dollar platinum coins.

OR

B. Printing trillions of dollars of paper currency with no intrinsic value.

In my humble opinion they are equally brilliant. The choice is difficult.

How about Coolidge advice instead, Krugman you asshat.

Paul Krugman is a highly regarded “economist”. The same people who admire Krugman are the same people that helped reelect the radical, collectivist president for a second term. For them the best economy is centrally planned by an all-powerful, imperial federal government.

"can’t run out of cash because we print the money

Yipee! Free money, what could possibly go wrong? /s

...not a legitimate worry because the U.S. government can always print money and weaken the buying power of the dollar

Krugman may be onto something here.

If the government can print all the money it wishes or needs, then, logically, it can print all the money necessary to pay off the national debt, and the country can start from scratch. Then, all of the deficits and national debts, won't ever be a worry again.

Where are those trillion dollar coins? We need them now, and as many as necessary.

The USSR could print its own money too.

How did that work out for the former superpower?
