Isn't intentionally debasing the money supply a form of treason? It sure seems that way to me. And by the way my constitution says the only money shall be gold and silver. One of Sir Issac Newton's chief posts in the French court of the time was to measure the weight of the Kings coins to be sure they were not “shaved”. People found guilty of such debasement were regularly executed. Oh yeah, fuck you Karl Rove.

Yes it is — and I’d kinda like to see a Perry staffer double down on Perry’s comment by educating the public as to *why* this is so.

Counterintuitive, brutal, effective.
