Several lawmakers in the United States are now considering making
gold and silver coins legal tender amid fears that the Federal Reserve’s
monetary policies may result in a considerably drop of the dollar
value. Arizona is the main state pushing for residents to be able to use
bullion as rightful currency, but several other states are also
considering such a move.
What they fail to realize is that NEITHER were ever
demonetized. People are free to accept whatever they want in a
transaction. This is why I have stated that the best bet is to buy COINS
not bullion.
LEGAL TENDER is pointless. That means the GOVERNMENT must accept them in payment for PUBLIC debts – taxes! PRIVATE
debts are free to do as they like and have been since 1975. This are
not the source of the problem. Bretton Woods made gold money – it did
nothing. Alone gold FAILS to restrain government in modern or ancient times. This is like fining your wife because you did not take out the trash. It is INDIRECT
accomplishing nothing – been there done that. The Constitution already
provides for gold and silver coins to be legal tender. I am sure the IRS
will be glad to accept $1 in silver coins at face value for taxes.
- Article I, Section 8, Clause 5. The Congress shall have Power…To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures.
- Article I, Section 8, Clause 6. The Congress shall have Power…To provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin of the United States.
- Article I, Section 9, Clause 7. No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law.
- Article I, Section 10, Clause 1. No State shall…coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debt.
Here is the culprit. They borrow so they do not have to tax. If they
taxed people for what they really spent, there would have been a
revolution long ago. They borrow to avoid taxes so the Marxists can run
for office promising to bribe the people you get this at no cost.
- Article I, Section 8, Clause 2. The Congress shall have Power…To borrow Money on the credit of the United States.
You have to ELIMINATE the power to borrow for whatever is MONEY will always be irrelevant.
