After giving hundreds of billions to the suits on Wall Street and their bonuses and Lexuses, I can imagine that seizing the $20 gold piece J6P got from his granddad is gonna go over good.
Real good.
Not.
In 1933, most folks probably thought that “the federal reserve” was a govt. bank.
Can you imagine ordering people today to turn their gold over to the Federal Reserve, a private cartel of banks?????
That would be a hoot. They would get more lead by airmail than gold by FedEx ground.
