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;”

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."

Wrong. The Federal Reserve Notes we have today are issued by the government as debt. The U.S. Notes that I am referring to would be issued debt free. That's the difference.
