KEK.

 

Old mother Hubard went to the cupboard to get her poor dog a bone, but when she got there, the cupboard was bare and so the poor dog had none.

 

Corrupt dogs are going hungry now. Poor little things.

I dunno, in basic training we made fun of the videos about VD, and the spirochete that said, "Let's make everyday a VD day." We used to laugh at that one quite often.

Yes I know that, but what can you exchange it for? The more the gold costs relative the the amount of paper dollars needed to exchange it for tells you the value of the dollar. Gold "value" goes up in dollars because the purchasing power of the dollar went down and it now takes more of those "dollars' to buy the same thing. Then add in the taxation. What does debasing a currency do? If we "get" more paper dollars because of the inflation, they tax us at a higher rate. You don't have any more money, you just have more paper, which they use to figure out how much more to take from you. You get "less," because they taxed the inflation.

Hard specie is what the founding fathers went with. Read the coinage act of 1792. Hard currency. Fuck the paper. The continental dollar paper currency around that time left such a bad taste in their mouths that they told the corrupt bankers to go fuck themselves.

 

It does several things. It keeps the wealth in the hands of the American people. It prevents assholes from printing money out of thin air. It is hard to counterfeit. No immediate debt place on it other than the cost of minting.

Well, there is that as well. I would have thought that our military either had stuff like that made in our country, or at the very least vetted anything that was used on a piece by piece basis instead of just lot checks.
