@CarlitosMMT@twitter.com @rohangrey@twitter.com @BobMurphyEcon@twitter.com @GeorgeSelgin@twitter.com That would be an incredibly Orwellian argument. Once you acknowledge the statutory authority Congress gave the Tsy Secretary, “force” has nothing do with it, the legal term is “supervision and control”.

@rohangrey@twitter.com @BobMurphyEcon@twitter.com @GeorgeSelgin@twitter.com Yeah, it’s not even a unitary executive theory constitutional issue where a statute makes an agency independent of the Executive Branch. The statute (Federal Reserve Act) actually gives Secretary “supervision and control” over the Fed when their respective powers conflict.

@rohangrey@twitter.com @mucha_carlos@twitter.com @BobMurphyEcon@twitter.com @GeorgeSelgin@twitter.com Indeed. If the Fed has an independent power to determine what is and isn't legal tender coming from Treasury, then it can reject anything, not just the platinum coin. It could tell the Treasury that cash, t-bills, and t-bonds are invalid.

That's obviously wrong.

@BobMurphyEcon@twitter.com @GeorgeSelgin@twitter.com @rohangrey@twitter.com Hmm, the Fed’s refusal to accept the Coin sounds like the Secretary’s power to mint coins and manage the public debt would be in conflict with the Federal Reserve’s power to accept for deposit lawful money. I wonder how the Federal Reserve Act resolves conflicts of this sort?

I’m not an accelerationist about many things but the tanking of the Supreme Court’s reputation is good as it sets the stage for shrinking the power of an institution that has been a reactionary force for most of U.S. history https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/columnists/2023/01/28/supreme-court-leak-abortion-ethics-ginni-thomas/11123899002/

So liquidity is 🔥 right now and a lot of attention is focused on the FHLB, which is fair. But I've been sleeping on the Fed Discount Window, which is often the like... big scary alternative to the more-acceptable FHLB.

The GOP has exactly 0 leverage when it comes to the debt ceiling. It's going to be 6 months of generating headlines of what spending they want to cut.

And then in the end, the best they can hope for is that Treasury switches from financing via UST to financing via coinage.
