Obama Should Mint Coin to Avoid Debt
Spokesman Jay Carney at Afternoon Press Briefing, 1-9-13
The option here is for Congress to pay its bills," Carney said repeatedly when asked about the prospect of Obama considering the $1 trillion coin approach. "There is no Plan B. There is no backup plan."
Pressed again later for a "yes" or "no" answer, Carney still wouldn't give one.
"I would refer you to Treasury for specifics of this question," he said. "I can tell you the president does not believe that there is a backup plan or a Plan B or an off-ramp. The only option here is for Congress to fulfill ... its responsibility and ensure the United States pays its bills."
The story is that Jay Carney has refused to rule out #MintTheCoin

The WH has fully ruled out the 14th amendment option. They aren't really doing the same with the coin

#MintTheCoin is just like #FIxTheDebt, except it's a clearly defined solution to a non made-up problem.

Highlight of the State of the Union? President turns around, says, "What's that in your ear, Mr. Speaker?" & pulls out the trilion $ coin.

Mint the Coin
With the Debt Ceiling coming up soon, it
Is time (although some may impugn it)
For coining a halt
To a US default
With a really big monet'ry unit.
A one-trillion coin, it is said,
Could be minted and shipped to the Fed,
In order to pay
What the US of A
Might be forced to renege on instead.
This sizeable denomination
Would be kept out of mass circulation,
The better to sidestep
That such an untried step
Precipitates hyperinflation.
When Republicans finally come round
From running bond issuance aground,
It's back to the Mint
For the Coin, where its stint
Will be wound up with melting it down.
So let's mint The Coin out of platinum!
Though objections there be, we may flatten 'em.
There are ways besides cash
'Round the Debt Ceiling clash,
But there's nothing as clever as that in 'em.
