So you think that the Founding Fathers restrictions against Congress issuing paper money was a bad idea

Where did they do that?

or do you think that following the Constitution now is a bad idea?

I think following the Constitution is a good idea. I think your idea of fixing the dollar to silver and gold is a bad idea.

Where did they do that?

Article 1, Section 8. Read it for yourself.

I think following the Constitution is a good idea. I think your idea of fixing the dollar to silver and gold is a bad idea.

Can't have it both ways old boy. Here it is, right from the US Constitution:

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;

So once again, do you think the restraints laid down against paper money in the US Constitution were a good idea or a bad idea?
