IS STEVEN HORSFORD UPSET THAT THE TRILLION DOLLAR COIN IS OFF THE TABLE?

aWith news this weekend that the Treasury Dept. has finally ruled out the half-baked idea of minting a “Trillion Dollar Coin,” one has to wonder if Nevada Congressman Steven Horsford is a tad bit disappointed.

After all, based on what we know of Horsford, his imagination was probably running wild with the possibilities of what HE could do with the “Trillion Dollar Coin.”

-He could park in handicapped parking spaces whenever he wants and have no trouble paying the fines.

-He could pay back the unpaid bills that he has littered over the State of Nevada.

-He could add new tiers to his “pay-to-play” access scheme – $50,000 donation to see the coin, $75,000 to touch it, $100,000 to flip it.

NRCC Statement: “The ‘Trillion Dollar Coin’ idea may be dead, but the liberal spending spree in Washington lives on.  It is time for Steven Horsford and his liberal allies in Washington to end their Scrooge McDuck obsession with coins and begin to responsibly address America’s spending problem so that states like Nevada can return to prosperity.” – NRCC Spokesman Ian Prior
