Great post! Good to see you banging the keys on this. I’m forwarding it.

Love to you and your dear ones! (Still wish you guys would dig around and put up a few more photos! You know how I love pictures.)

Aw....yer makin' me blush!

I'm posting on a recently restored computer, so I've got squat for pictures on it. I'll have to roll up my sleeves and import some I can post to you.

My brain is literally like Swiss cheese these days from all the pain meds, so hit me up with a reminder if I take too long. I won't mind.

All great ideas, and I’m sure they’ll come to pass.

> If they then start allowing checks and debit cards to be used in conjunction with the bullion accounts – likely the next step – it would essentially create a specie- and bullion-based bank introducing currency competition with Federal Reserve notes.

NOT a state power. Article I, Section 8 specifically says:

The Congress shall have power:
…To coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin…
The Tenth does not apply to powers already delegated to the US, so cannot empower Texas here.

Oh, goodie, you have an additional project! All you need is another one, right?

But it would be so fun if you could “import” some ages and phases of your experiences and with your wife and kids.

The only thing I am capable to “import”, what ever that is, comes from Pier 1. (You knew that was coming.)

%:D/

Yes, I will try to remember to get you to remember that I want photos.

Put my name on your calendar, so you will remember who it was that is suppose to remember to get you to remember to IMPORT. HEE!

Love ya’ all!
Rita

You're right. Texas may be forced by current circumstances to decouple itself from that pact.

The Tenth does not apply to powers already delegated to the US, so cannot empower Texas here.

Additionally, in Art. I, Sect. 10, it states...

Section 10. No state shall ... coin money; emit bills of credit; make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts; ...

Seems to me, since Fedgov has abandoned both gold and silver as legal tender, Sect 8, and Sect 10 are in conflict with each other. The only reason people accept inflationary FRNs is because Fedgov will kill you if you don't.

If I had unlimited money, I'd really love to see the limits of this be fully adjudicated.
