So, following this to its logical course, a time comes when all our cash is in our homes, under the mattress, next to our gold. Then one day, the government makes the current currency obsolete and gives us 2 months to turn in the old bills for the new ones after which time the old ones are worthless. BTW, the exchange rate will be $1,000 in old money for $10 in the new bills. At the same time, we will be commanded to turn in all gold under threat of confiscation without compensation after 6 months, with special, armed recovery teams with sweeping powers of intrusion waiting by the phone of the anonymous tip line.
Think it can’t happen? It has been done before.
