"One, possibly satirical, suggestion ... the #MintTheCoin movement, as it is known on social media, has gathered support from some lawmakers on the left wing of the Democratic Party. More serious thinkers, including Yellen, have dismissed it as a gimmick." https://www.economist.com/united-states/2023/01/23/there-is-no-easy-escape-from-americas-debt-ceiling-mess

I’m watching the essential conversation btwn @PhilipNDiehl@twitter.com @rohangrey@twitter.com @TheStalwart@twitter.com and @StephanieKelton@twitter.com on #MintTheCoin
Biden and Yellen *choosing* default is unconstitutional, they are *obligated* by the 14th Amendment to uphold the US debt — the $1T coin is a clean way out

Is Yellen correct? Can the Fed do this? Should Yellen defer to Fed, or does the constitution require her to do something else?
Join our (virtual/in-person) public seminar tomorrow at 12pm ET to discuss these questions and more!

i too would hate me and hate #mintthecoin if i was a former MD at JP Morgan and extremely proud of being a board member of Third Way and hated everything Bernie represented.
the man is consistent, gotta give him that.

Here's what people who talk about #MintTheCoin don't understand. If @USTreasury@twitter.com/@POTUS admits we have gimmicks that allow the @HouseGOP@twitter.com to just sit back and not raise the #DebtLimit, the Rs will do exactly that. It's bad game theory to make these alternatives seem normal/doable.

Like @JStein_WaPo@twitter.com, I also asked @NathanTankus@twitter.com and @rohangrey@twitter.com about major questions surrounding the #MintTheCoin idea.
There are reasons ppl are clutching their pearls over my comments & it's partially the incendiary & decontextualized way my point was reported upon, but more deeply it's that people who hate #MintTheCoin like to blame it for problems universal to all options being considered
Thank you for your leadership, @RashidaTlaib@twitter.com. Always willing to call bs on the bs. It's so refreshing.

House Rs voted to raise the debt ceiling three times under Trump, but now they want to hold our economy hostage? So they can gut Social Security and Medicare?
Hell no.
There is nothing to “negotiate”—if McCarthy won’t agree to a clean debt ceiling increase, then we #MintTheCoin.

All of which is to say if there's ever a moment to #MintTheCoin it's now.

Strong contender for worst #MintTheCoin article of this cycle:
1. Confuses already-authorized spending with new spending
2. Conflates debt-ceiling crisis with budget/overspending debate
3. Lazy analysis of COVID inflation (the Fed printed money!)
4. Misunderstands QE/MFFP
