At long last, a stupid, as well as illegal idea dies on the vine. Bloomberg reports

[Joe 6-pack]

All this means is that they came up with something even more absurd.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

What this really means is that it's a done-deal.

[mountainlion]

If we had 3D printers we could save the nation and start a whole new form of prosperity.

[Libloather]

Just imagine losing that in the washer...

[Mad Dawgg]

Hopefully what this means is someone sane finally explained to Obamaidiots that there is no faster way for the Gub’ment to instill in people that the US Dollar is nothing more that a shell game by making such a desperate ploy.

[BipolarBob]

I had a hole in my pocket . . .

[Popman]

Exactly...what happened...

[C. Edmund Wright]

In a world where on national TV Michigan was awarded that absurd first down, why not solve everything with a magical trillion dollar coin. Hell, make TWO, they’re small......

[Hardastarboard]

But . . but . . the Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Krugman was defending this idea. It HAD to be a good idea. He has a Nobel Prize, after all. They don’t give that to just anybody, do they? /LIV off

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

It wasn't just any coin. It was a platinum coin. Platinum is worth more than gold!!!

Be careful. It might just have been declared dead because it was getting negative attention. Even if you shoot it with a silver bullet, put a stake through its heart, burn its body and encase the ashes in volcanic glass it might still come back if the Republicans get a spine and insist on spending cuts before increasing the debt limit.

[skinkinthegrass]

"It was a platinum coin.
Platinum is worth more than gold!
*/chanelling Zero voter*"but, was it inscribed w/ "the Once's" likeness..proclaiming "ALLAH ACKBAR"
if not (useless :), it's from the Franklin Mint...like 0'Buttcrack / the Establishment.

“SORRY BOSS, I was just wanting a Coke with my lunch, didn’t have any change BUT the machine said it would return the change” is a ‘better’ excuse that “I don’t know which machine I dropped it in”.

I hope someday we find who the puppeteer is here.

Just before the election, jobama was running around, keeping his foot deeply inserted in his mouth, making absurd statements AND no one did anything or made any suggestions other than ‘jobama will be jobama’ and lightly passed off.

Once obozo is in place, jobama emerges as the end to all ends inre the ‘fiscal cliff’ which sat there for years but jobama comes riding out of the sunset to save the day and (illegally) broker a deal.

Having done that, he polished his cape and stepped forward to head the ‘gun grab platform’ and having to WORK 3 days meeting JUST EVERYONE involved...of course he/they did all this with a ‘workday’ starting at 11AM and ending at 3PM WITH a lunch break.

Figure that little stunt cost US a few bill, but who is counting?

NOW there is talk that jobama is PRIMING HIMSELF FOR THE 2016 pResidency?

Even the Libs were throwing the buffoon ‘under the bus’ pre election.

MEL BROOKS AND/OR JOSEPH HELLER COULDN’T WRITE A SCRIPT LIKE THIS......

[Scooter100]

You have to put a lump of something in the 3D printer, in order for it to be laser-trimmed to the desired shape. What lump do you suggest using?

[BipolarBob]

The compromise suggested by Dingy Reid was minting new coins for atheists reading “In God we don’t trust”. The liberals will go wild for that one.

Trillion Dollar Coin Idea Dies Sudden Death

The idea was dropped when somebody suggested including "In God We Trust" on the coin.

Now they're considering adding, "In Obama We Trust" on the coin.

[shove_it]

It's the Republican Congress’ fault (and Bushes’ too).
