He stipulates that he should be paid at their market values, currently $1,801 for the gold coin and $35.28 for the silver coin.

Sure, why not. It's only the taxpayers' money after all.

If his salary is $1,801 every two weeks, then what does it hurt to give him a coin twice a month instead of cash? It’s the same value.

He's making a point that gets press.

I agree with him that the dollar is worthless.

If I demanded to be paid in gold or silver, it wouldn't make news.

He did and his demand did. I'm calling this good naked truth.
