Militia groups creating their own currency — again

In the long run there are no monopolies.
The fact that we’ve lost sight of what sound money is, is the primary reason we have out of control big government.
Time to wake up, America!
Great idea, but next to impossible to implement with a congress that is more than willing to inflate our currency with every bill.
Watch Ron Paul this Tuesday, December 15, as he co-hosts CNBCs Squawk Box from 8-9am eastern.
Or Amir's chocolate ones, which I can eat? Ever notice that they sell everything for cost? Odd, for capitalists.
Amir, a brilliant young MIT student, has produced chocolate Ron Paul coins to spread the word and get our man elected. He is currently selling them at cost. However, he is using the likeness of Bernard von NotHaus' existing gold and silver Ron Paul Liberty Dollar coins to help sell the chocolate ones. Bernard's website states "All Rights Reserved". This is a problem.

There is one potential flaw with having congress seek more control over the Fed and that is it may give congress the opportunity to directly manipulate the money supply. If politicians make the decisions you can be certain that temporary expediency will replace even a pretense of maintaining sound money.
You also might want to check out a book: “The Great Wave : Price Revolutions and the Rhythm of History” by David Hacket Fisher. It looks back over centuries of government manipulation and debasement of currencies and the results. It might surprise you.
Some anti-Fed people advocate the printing of paper "fiat money" directly by the mint. What is the difference between the two?
This is a sincere question, not a "taunt."
“...how stupid and unjust it would be if a sales tax were charged every time a person exchanged a ten dollar bill for a roll of quarters.”
I wouldn’t give them any more ideas.
bttt
I’d rather see a competition for ideas.
Our nation is manipulated by a media with only one political viewpoint.
