By the way, US Treasury does not need to print a fake trillion dollar platinum coin to give to the Federal Reserve in excahnge for another trillion in funny money from the Fed's magic computer. US Treasury could pick-up any rock up along any roadside and paint $1 trillion on it and hand it to the Federal Reserve in exchange for another $1 trillion in digits from the magic money machine. Better yet, have a graphic designer create a virtual gold-pressed latnum Ferrengie coin and email it to the Fed. Why waste the platinum on a stupid coin, or sacrifice a real roadside rock, when its not required. Our national currency is as virtual as the crops in Farmville computer game. (sarc)
