Conservatives--
It sounds like a joke. It should be a joke. But it is shockingly real:
Liberal pundits and Democratic members of Congress are urging President Obama to mint trillion-dollar platinum coins to fund continued government spending above the federal debt ceiling.

Joe Firestone, the blogger who first proposed the idea, is now calling for a $60 TRILLION platinum coin to be minted. That would mean completely unlimited federal spending, without the approval of Congress - and the value of the dollar would be gutted.
