Just mint the platinum coin right now. [View all]

Do it preemptively. Why wait until the last minute? Mint the coin, get it over with. Tell the Repubs to go f themselves. Let the markets react, and let the FOX people complain, but then everyone will calm down and realize that the president is no longer going to let the GOP hold the world economy hostage in order to decimate the social safety net.
