Washington’s ‘Blazing Saddles’ moment

[Amonester]

10. That's a stunning idea! I want to request you start an OP on the WH's site petition.

It's only missing 28,768 signatures as of now:

we petition the obama administration to:
Direct the United States Mint to make a single platinum trillion dollar coin!

With the creation and Treasury deposit of a new platinum coin with a value of $1 trillion US Dollars, we would avert the absurd-yet-imminent debt ceiling faceoff in Congress in two quick and simple steps! While this may seem like an unnecessarily extreme measure, it is no more absurd than playing political football with the US -- and global -- economy at stake.

Thanks for digging it up!

p.s.: Could it be possible to spread it around all Progressive-leaning sites also?
