made-up digital money. Itâs backed by nothing
Hey guys, y'all know perfectly well that dollars are worth lots and none of this goofy "worthless-dollar" talk means anyone's throwing 'em out the window. A few years ago a couple $thou could only buy one oz. of gold and now it buys two. Some would call that deflation but us sane folks know that gold's a volatile commodity and big price swings just don't mean much. What we care about are prices on the stuff we buy (food, clothing, shelter) and they're a lot more stable than they were a hundred years ago.
We also know that while the Fed issues money, the banks (mostly outside the U.S.) create a heck of a lot more.
You’re too hard-headed to ever obtain enlightenment. I have laundry.. sorry.
You simply don’t understand the basics, so a discussion is pointless. Read more, ask fewer questions. Your questions don’t lead anywhere.
Basically, you're a clown.
Ever read the Constitution? If it clearly says that Congress can only use gold or silver COIN as money, why do you think it’s OK for a subsidiary of Congress to print debt notes and declare them legal tender? Believe in the Constitution, or not? I bet it’s not.
Cut and paste the section you feel proves your claim. Then I’ll point out your error.
Cut and paste the Constitution... Nice. How old are you?
You can't find the part that proves your claim?
That's funny.
You seem to be having some difficulty. Hope this helps.
Section. 10.
No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.
When you get a chance, please let me know if this includes the portion you feel proves your claim.
If you can’t read plain English I doubt that my input would help. Read the Federalist Papers (you haven’t done that?) to discover what the Constitution means.
I can read plain English.

I read your claim. If you ever post your proof, I'll read that too.
Read the Federalist Papers (you haven't done that?) to discover what the Constitution means.
If you feel some part of the Federalist Papers proves your claim, copy and paste it.
Unless you can't read plain English?
