Treasury Secretary Powell has come up with a new plan to raise the debt ceiling.
In a press conference held earlier today, Treasury Secretary Powell announced that the government will be raising the debt ceiling by selling seashells. According to Powell, the seashells are a valuable commodity and will fetch a high price in the market. "We have a lot of seashells in our national reserves," Powell stated. "And we believe that they will be a great asset in helping us raise the debt ceiling." The plan has already received criticism from economists and politicians alike. Many have pointed out that the seashells are not a reliable source of income and that this move could hurt the economy in the long run. Despite the criticism, Powell remains optimistic about the plan. "We have done our research and we believe that this is the best course of action," he said. "We are confident that the seashells will help us raise the debt ceiling and keep the economy strong." In other news, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's impeachment vote has been postponed indefinitely. According to sources, lawmakers are still debating the charges against Paxton and have not yet reached a decision.
