DeSanctimonious Beating Democrats to the Metallic Line

The framers of the US Constitution understood money, credit, currency, and their differences they know that money is gold and that paper currency even when redeemable into gold introduces counterparty risk and that deposits in banks are the most dangerous currency of all They wrote into the Constitution basic monetary principles that served the people well until FDR in 1933 began the downward slide to fiat currency

The Numeraire Clause of the Constitution gave the power of the coin to the Federal government Note that this was not to print money This has become Article One Section 8 Monetarily we as a country have lost our metallic moorings and going off the gold standard in 1971

And the Republicans have talked about a return to a gold standard for some time Now DeSanctimonious in Florida(https://bit.ly/44MyMU2) has decided to take another step toward a metallic standard by making gold and silver legal tender in the state This is a step toward sound money with the dollar’s purchasing power dropping 88% of what is was in 1971

Democrats need to join them This is one thing we can agree on (in part from Money and Liberty Chapter 9 James Turk)

I think Melanie Stansbury is always a winner. She is always on social media breaking down what's happening in Congress and what garbage they are trying to get pushed through. Karoline Leavitt is always a big ass loser. I don't know how she can stand herself and all the lies she tells.

In story after story, it's hard not to notice that it's the women standing up for themselves or holding officials accountable. Thanks for this recap. Stay strong, American women!

Ossoff gave a great speech in Savannah a day or so ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AT6av30-WEg

The denizens of the real swamp keep coming onto the land to pillage and destroy all that America has striven to be. If someone finds a competent player among the Trump administration, you can rest assured they won’t last for long.

Sadly, far too many complacently believe that this is just a ‘childhood phase’ and that everything will return to ‘normal’ at the next election cycle. Every day they corrupt the system more, and the next election cycle may look like every election in Russia since Putin took office; including ‘mysterious’ deaths of political opponents to the powers that be.

A raft of common sense in the murky channels of the swamp.

Thanks for this summary. Particularly reminding us of all the winners, such as Senator Delauro. She is shining star in a sea of ugly.
