If only they would exercise its authority against the people who are really undermining our currency, the Federal Reserve Banks - did you see the photos of the immense pallets of $100 bills being shipped over to Iraq?
I think I understand the point you are making.
The point I am trying to make is that you can disagree with our government's monetary policy. You can lobby to change it.
However, you can't try and usurp the government's constitutionally granted authority and coin your own money, and try and undermine the government's regulation of the US dollar. That's insurrection.
I may not agree with what the government does with monetary policy, but I recognize that the Federal government has the authority to do it.
I do recognize that if we don't start showing some fiscal restraint, we are likely to remove ourselves from being the most powerful nation in the world economically. If that happens, the dollar's slide is going to continue for a long time, because the value of the dollar is based on the world's faith in our economy, and if we lose the number one spot, it's going to take a serious hit.
Fortunately for us, the economies of the world are so intertwined through trade that if we take a big hit, pretty much everyone else does as well, which has helped keep us on top despite our own foolishness.
