White House Press Secretary Jay Carney has come under heavy fire this week as journalists grilled him about the three scandals hitting President Obama’s administration at once. On CNN Thursday night, however, Carney explained to Piers Morgan that he has actually enjoyed his job this week. “Maybe it’s just me, but I’ve kind of enjoyed it,” Carney said, as Morgan asked him how his week has been. http://washingtonexaminer.com/jay-carney-i-dismiss-the-idea-that-these-are-scandals/article/2529910 So, what about the video?

From Citi’s head of FX strategy, Steven Englander No coin + temporary debt ceiling extension + sequester = USD negative There was a an out-of-left-field idea that you could mint such a coin deposit it at the Fed and have a trillion dollars to spend.
