Constitution Article 1, Section 1 says "The Congress shall have Power ... To coin Money.

Recent story yesterday reffered to House Resolution 2847, where July 1, 2014 has something happening ..

Stay tuned.

“looks like he’s saving story till end of his show “

So it’s probably sensationalist fluff, which will end up with him interviewing one “expert” who is flogging a book speculating that we might someday get rid of paper money.

My thought exactly. I even said this when debit cards first came out and was laughed at.

” I thought this was about Celestion, even though I prefer Eminence.”

I have two Celestion Blues in my Dr. Z Prescription, and they’re great!

Nice looking amps. Never tried one (no dealers here in Florida, but Evans Music City back home in Houston carries them). They still make the Prescription? The Antidote sounds nice.

Wish I could participate in this thread, but since I don't and never have watched Shep Smith, I've no idea what you're talking about.

Once upon a time at FR, the poster would give some background about his chosen subject. Alas, those days are apparently gone.

I recorded the Fox News show.

At the end, a "futurist" named Helen Schlegel talked about "The Future of Money." Her message is there might soon be no more banks, no more paper currency, and no more credit cards.

Adding to that, I recently picked up a story about House Resolution 2847 having some major happening on 1 July 2014 ... and a 1 Trillion dollar coin being created.

Take a look at US Constitution Article 1, section 8 about "coining" money.

We shall see.

The trillion dollar coin is a leftie fantasy from a few years ago that some libtard dreamed up as a way to make an end run around the Republican House to let Obama keep spending. I don’t think it would ever be done, because it isn’t a magic solution, and there would be court battles and political repercussions.

Now if this story you talk about says the House bill has something to do with the trillion dollar coin, then it is a bogus story. The trillion dollar coin was to be minted by the treasury, with no involvement from Congress, that was the whole point of it.

Those were Smith’s words.

"Dozens of people are being murdered and raped in the Superdome and New Orleans Convention Center!" Those were also Shepard Smith's words, during the immediate aftermath of Katrina.

IOW, he's a moron who's word I will never, ever trust, much less post a thread based upon.

The coin won’t be done because the GOPe hasn’t the spine to deny the Rats all the money they want. It’s unnecessary.
