How about gold and silver backed money if you want the medal take it in and trade it. To say that gold and silver is the only constitutionally way to go then Ben Franklin who printed money should be put in prison for being a counterfeiter.

[ex 98C MI Dude]

The government isn’t going to go back to that Constitutional style currency, no matter how much we want them to.

[guitarplayer1953]

Do away with the fed and force the government to live with in its means. We do they should.

“I would ask Mr. RP what are we to buy the silver and gold with?”

How about your labor? Would you rather be paid in silver/gold or paper with IOU written on it?

[guitarplayer1953]

Where is my employer going to get the gold and silver if the only thing they have is greenbacks? Gold and silver certificates issued by the government redeemable upon request for gold or silver would be the way to go.

[Arizona Carolyn]

you support this kook and have the nerve to say anything about McCain (not that I like McCain - Paul is just as bad, though)... what a joke!
