Dollar coins that are stockpiled because nobody wants to use them...and apparently we can't use 'em to bail out Social Security or Medicare either. Seems to me to be the ideal thing to pay big pharma bills with.

I wonder if Ron and Rand Paul wanna shut down the Federal Reserve just to get their own mitts on that mothballed billion. Hmmmm!...no wait, it's not gold.

How about congressional salaries? No more fancy direct deposits, just stop buy with a wheel barrell. You will not be able to use the drive thru at the bank however.

      I have believed for several decades we should just stop printing $1 bills. The smaller dollar coins are not a big deal to work with.... Canada manages just fine..... but then we all know Canada is a pinko communists country with the fascists socialists medicine.... so no good idea could work there. :)

      LOLz! I don't think the Queen would agree with that assessment of one of her Commonwealth members.

        I agree, sadly beck and rush routinely insult our kind neighbors to the north.
