Last i heard we have 8000 tons of gold in the SGR @ Fort Knox (unless either Goldfinger or Dr. Boris Balinkoff has pulled off a heist).
Street value is about 400 billion dollars. Sell it or mint it into coins.
We also have 2 trillion dollars of bonds in the SS trust fund. Start cashing them in which reduces our debt allowing more borrowing.

Combine the two ideas and put 400 billion of bullion into the SS trust fund to redeem the bonds. Now you can borrow that much from the Chinese.
