The only option we will have once the chaos is over is to amend the Constitution to mandate a bi-metallic monetary standard, abolish income taxes of all kinds, and limit the ways that the Federal government is allowed to raise money, and what they are allowed to spend it on.

There’s a lot more to do besides that, but you get my drift...

I get your drift, but as my excerpt indicates, Congress has the right to define our currency, and will only be correct in doing so, if it again measures its value in gold & silver. What has been done since FDR is literally outside the box of what the framers of our Constitution conceived as acceptable.

Indeed, it was to secure sound money--against fiat money inflation--that provided one of the two principal domestic motivations for the Federal Constituiton.

What???

You have the audacity ask for a return to Constitutional governance? No soup for you!

You are obviously a hater.
