Can Biden issue a trillion-dollar platinum coin to instantly lift the debt ceiling?

i don’t disagree and wouldn’t have any problem with the democrats making that argument ( so long maybe as it’s coupled with some gauge on how much spending is good )

however, they are the party of fiscal responsibility they just don’t say they are. heck, they’re entertaining the idea that 1.5 vs 3 trillion will make some sort of difference to the budget - even when the 3 trillion plan is accounted for

they seem scared to argue their positions on the merits. even though the merits are factually on their side. and now they’re off now on biden’s tag line - “you don’t have to vote for it, just get the hell out of the way” which isn’t an argument at all.

they’re forgetting their audience is america, not republicans
