See my FR page. The main problem with both parties is they support the present fiat currency system, which gives them, the government and favored big business an enormous cash cow. It is wholely unconstitutional. They have NO intention of changing or reforming it.
I agree with you on the fiat currency.
The only way to really limit government spending is to limit their ability to print endless amounts of paper money.
This means going back to a gold/silver standard...honest money that can't be devalued to support whatever ridiculous spending scheme the morons in washington come up with.
If they want to spend more money, they will need to raise taxes on the people...no more stealth taxes through inflation.
