Tell me without telling me you don't get how that works. For one you can't print foreign currency. That is what they call counterfeiting. Oh and if you started using CDN instead of USD you would basically make the USA financially dependent on us. But hey if you want to go that route....sure.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow It's not counterfeit. Congress constitutionally has the power of the purse and can print money quite legally. It can be made under the jurisdiction of the US Treasury. Completely and totally legal.

@Dignaga That applies exclusively to USD. Seems I found another conservative who needs to go back to primary school.
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow No it most certainly does not. Nowhere is it worded that way, and no constituional scholar or historian will back you claim. Infact, the first currency congress demanded in taxes as legal currency was Spanish Dollars.

What difference does it make if the debt is in US dollars or another currency? It would take the same amount of capital to pay it off.
@windinhishair Exactly. As there is indifference on the matter, there is no real reason why not to, no harm done. Canadian dollars it is.

@Dignaga There is no reason to do something that cannot legally be done. It would be foolhardy.
