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.
