debt relief

can't take credit for this one -- someone else came up with the idea image

Here's an idea:

1. Barry orders the U.S. Treasury to create a single platinum coin, and Barry declares it worth $1 Quadrillion.
2. Barry hands it to Bernanke, and gets a receipt.
3. Bernanke then credits, using his new $1,000,000,000,000,000 coin, the accounts of those who hold the $17 TRILLION in U.S. debt, credits the Social Security "trust fund" and Medicare with $121 TRILLION to pay for its unfunded liabilities, and pays $11.4 TRILLION for the first 10 years of ObamaCare.

U.S. debt at that point? $0.00!

We use the remaining $850 TRILLION to throw a party, before hyper-inflation bankrupts everyone in the Western world.

Who's with me?!

    Barry now owes Bernanke and the FED $1 Quadrillion. Bankers don't forgive debt, they do all they can to create it.

    A hundred trillion here, a hundred trillion there. Pretty soon, it adds up to real money.
    Q: Are You Printing Money? Bernanke: Not Literally

    I knew it would happen.

    Got a golden umbrella and silver galoshes, though, so expecting rainbows and happiness!

    If they could just work this into the GDP, imagine what a helluva recovery that would
    make.

    Oh wait....
    Have a nice day

    Sounds great, I'll bring the Dip....., if Mr. Bernanke is available that is.

    Sometimes the humorous postulations are no stranger than the sad reality.... Cheers, RickO
