It\u2019s time for the next crisis that I refuse to get up in arms about. I won\u2019t be getting any ulcers about the national debt.\u00a0Obama refuses to negotiate debt ceiling raise, and I\u2019m all like, \u201cSo? I refuse to freak out that you refuse to negotiate the debt ceiling.\u201d If you could print your own money, you\u2019d probably raise your credit limit too.<\/p>\n

Or maybe you wouldn\u2019t. Maybe you\u2019d scrap some aircraft carriers, end the war in Afghanistan, and close down Guantanamo instead. Or maybe you\u2019d come up with the idea for a Trillion Dollar Blue Chip coin.<\/p>\n

So when some of our fearless leaders came up with that idea to get around the \u201cdebt ceiling\u201d (the idea was shot down by the Administration, BTW), I do what any common sense minded person would do. I laughed.<\/p>\n

Jon Stewart did the same thing, though he rankled Noble Laureate economist Paul Krugman in the process. Have a look and a laugh (salty language alert) too.<\/p>\n
