Yellen's humorous proposal to solve the US debt ceiling crisis
In a not so surprising turn of events, the US is facing yet another debt ceiling crisis. Janet Yellen, the current Secretary of the Treasury, has been warning Congress about the urgency of solving this issue before June 5th, but her warnings seem to have fallen on deaf ears. That's why she has come up with a humorous yet credible solution: selling the US to China. "Think about it," Yellen said during a press conference. "We owe China so much money, why not just sell them the whole country? They get their money back, we get to start fresh, and who knows, maybe they'll even let us keep our national parks." While some have criticized Yellen's proposal as unpatriotic, others have pointed out that it's a creative and out-of-the-box solution to a problem that seems to have no easy fix. The Chinese government has yet to respond to the proposal, but some experts believe they might be interested in acquiring a new territory. Only time will tell if Yellen's proposal will be taken seriously by Congress, or if it will be dismissed as a joke. In the meantime, the US debt continues to grow, and the clock is ticking.
