I have listened to talking heads on MSNBC (principally Chris Hays) espouse that this is a real solution option to be considered in dealing with the deficit and debt issues that are facing the nation.

Really?

Well if $1 Trillion is good then why not mint 20 of the coins, eliminate the deficit, paid off the debt, pay for an infrastructure rebuild and restart the economy with a positive balance in the nation’s checkbook.

When something sounds too good to be true, it is because it is too good to be true.
