  • WASHINGTON, April 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --Our Money published The Lesson of the Trillion-Dollar Coins in support of the "Mint the Coin" proposal released by the office of Rep. Rashida Tlaib.

  • The platinum coins proposal is essentially this great lesson of the recent opening of the public spigot, storming the public square in a neon jumpsuit, jumping up and down, and waving its arms frantically for attention.
  • As the country reels from the torrent of federal spending and money creation, Our Money hopes its commentary on the Mint the Coin proposal can help elucidate any confusion regarding Congress' spending capacity.

  • The failure of the legislators to include any Israeli perspectives whatsoever reveals this to have been not a fact-finding mission, but rather a propaganda exercise.
  • AJC believes that, out of two less-than-ideal options, neither of which was risk-free, Israel did not choose wisely by reversing its original decision.
