Circling the fiscal drain January 5, 2013 9:03 am TB

Article at Huffington Post.

Debt ceiling? Their solution is to have the king president declare that the credit card has no upper limit, will never be repaid, and act accordingly.

And there’s the “trillion dollar coin” solution, again. Good God, I originally thought that was a joke. What anybody with a shred of remaining sanity realizes is that you would essentially be establishing the value of the dollar to be one-trillionth of an ounce of platinum.

Congratulations, voters. The lunatics are running the asylum.
