A way out of the debt ceiling mess?

While there is a limit in the amount of paper currency in circulation at any one time there isn't a limit on coins? So perhaps the solution to this mess is to create a couple trillion dollar coins. Or maybe go straight for the two-trillion coin. Follow the link for an example of the coin showing a silver of platinum disk with Obama's image in gold.



For several years up to 2009 support for marriage equality increased about 1% a year. But in the last two years that has jumped to 5% a year. Have we passed a tipping point? The uptick two years ago means it wasn't marriage equality in New York, but probably a reaction to the loss of gay marriage in Calif. That galvanized our community.
