This thing is a scam that’s been going on for hundreds of years.

If by 'this thing' you mean 'fiat money' then I understand where you're coming from...and if, given that, you mean you disagree with the fed taking us off the gold standard to federal reserve notes instead of silver certificates, then I think I'm close to agreeing that was a bad decision. Could the USA exist as a 'service based' economy on the gold standard? Pretty sure we'd have to become a 'manufacturing based' economy again to 'go back to the good old days', wouldn't we? Does Paul have a way to get there? I get the feeling we'd both agree that a lot of laws MUST be repealed to get there (about 50-60 years of Dem congress laws would be a good start).

That’s pretty much what would have to happen. The system we’ve morphed into isn’t sustainable, and furthermore it’s immoral.
