As the US debt pile continues to grow, a number of schemes have emerged in Washington on how to solve the problem. Max Keiser looks at the idea of minting a trillion-dollar platinum coin.
The concept emerged during the US debt-ceiling crisis of 2011, to bypass any necessity for Congress to raise the country’s borrowing limit, through the minting of very high-value platinum coins.
“They conjured up a $1 trillion platinum coin. Apparently, there’s a loophole in the Constitution that allows this fraud to take place, but why not just conjure up a $30 trillion platinum coin and get rid of all the debt,” Max points out.
