I choose not to engage in further exchanges with posters lacking a basic grasp of the historical record and the INTENT of the Founders

Yes, the Founders wanted us to have a gold/silver standard. Now explain why going back on a gold standard today wouldn't give us long term deflation.

for the same reason I abstain from trying to teach a pig to sing: It just wastes my time and really annoys the pig(s).

I can't refrain from trying to teach economics to protectionists and goldbugs. The problem is they're dumber than pigs.

46... THIS conversation is over... 

56... I choose not to engage in further exchanges ....

Now I know Dick is right about how anyone who fusses with him is an idiot.  All I wanted was to do is find out what he was saying, and I feel dumber already

That guy sure is one smart cookie!
