Is this guy serious? Does he want our government to issue fiat currency directly, instead of borrowing it from the Federal Reserve?

What ever happened to:
Article 1, Section 10 of the United States Constitution: “No State shall … make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts;”
Article 1, Section 10 of the United States Constitution: “No State shall … make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts;”

If he's going to propose a "revolutionary solution," let's make sure we are heading in the right direction. "United States Notes" backed by nothing other than a promise from the Congress is no better than the Federal Reserve Notes we have today.

I'm not interested in a "revolt" that will make us into another Weimar Republic of Germany. We have that plus a middle man (the great Bernanke) right now. The problem isn't the middleman, the problem is "fiat currency."
