There is one way. US government can mint print any coin denomination they like. If US Mint print 10T usd coin for just special occasion and hand it over to Feds, all is good. I am waiting for this crazy idea to happen.

That was a gimmick that made the rounds to get around a debt ceiling. It doesn't escape the debt spiral the US is in.
