I say john malone. Isn't there a website to get the white house to look at your petition if you get enough signatures?

If they want it to symbolize who has all the money in the US and how they got it, Bernie Madoff would be a good choice.

Liberals are so dumb.

Bill Gates is the obvious choice

Bush overspent like Beth lies about pooping. Obama has overspent like Rosie ODonnell lies about going to the gym. They're not the same thing at all.

Why bother with a trillion dollar coin? Mr. Burns will steal it and then Castro will steal it from him.

Its all about the debt ceiling.
The republicans probably won't raise the limit, so the president has two options. Envoke article 14, sect4 of the constitution(which I think they said they won't do) OR use a loophole that allows the president to make platinum coins(mainly for collectors). All he will have to do is make one $1trillion coin, deposit it in the feds account and the debt ceiling won't even be an issue.

TBS - I still think malone should be on it

I think congress should raise our personal debt ceilings. That way we could each spend millions, live like kings, and never pay our bills. Then pass the bills and blame onto someone else.

Someone doesn't watch cartoons if they actually thought I was looking for an answer to my question.

isn't it congress who spends. (we need line item veto)
and isn't most of congress the same under both pres
these people would hide pork in a pork sandwich

though i think only wasteful spending is bad.
for ex. i think we should spend whatever billions it cost to seal our borders

why'd you post that pic, some people are trying to eat breakfast

They'll never mint a trillion dollar coin because it's illegal to mint one without Congress approving the person & likeness that will go on the coin. They'll have to come to an agreement somehow and avoid this silliness.
