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

Give Me Liberty or Give Me Debt
A hundred trillion here, a hundred trillion there. Pretty soon, it adds up to real money.
I knew it would happen.
Got a golden umbrella and silver galoshes, though, so expecting rainbows and happiness!

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