Tim Geithner is just another one protecting the devil in the details. Take that little bull by the horns and you know what to do. Take back our constitution article #1 sec.#8 first amendment states: Congress shall have the right to coin , create the value of the dollar thereof; get rid of the federal reserve corp. and bring back the almost exstint department of weights and measures created from the coinage act of 1792 and manufacture our dollar and coins then distibute it interest & debt free again.

Big deal. We should be living within our means anyway. We should not be exporting jobs or importing crap from the communist Chinese that kills our children, pollutes our planet or our homes to the point where we can no longer live here. All Ron Paul offers is a band aid to allow this farce to continue. When it comes to the real problem, our trade deficit, he is all in favor of it continuing until we are living in a 3rd world hell hole with children working in factories that poison our land. I'm not for that. Are you? If the value of our money collapses internationally, then we will be forced to live within our means and buy goods produced here instead of abroad. Big deal.

If you disagree with that, then there is a way to change the Constitution. Use it. Don't lie about what the Constitution says and pretend it says whatever you want it to say. Hell, how are you better than what we've currently got sitting on the Supreme Court if that's all you're going to do. They pull new "constitutional rights" out of their asses all the time. Ron Paul claims to be above that sort of thing, but clearly he isn't, or he's too stupid to read what's there. Which is worse? Then he comes up with this crap about how we don't really need to use gold or silver, but some commodity to back up our money with? Which orifice did he pull that out of? None of this is Constitutional. It's not even smart. You're all traitors to your country and the Constitution!

Once the US $ loses it’s authority,the center of power shifts from the USA to currencies backed by substance.

We are on a very dangerous course with possible confrontations with China and Russia.USA and the West need serious leaders who are able to see beyond the selfish egos who have created this debacle.

We are all in this together and money will not save anyone,if this insanity continues.

That is precisely what we have at present and it has constantly distorted and wrecked the economy. But let's have liberty reign shall we? You claim to be for liberty. Well, let's have it in money/economics.The Fed gov/reserve can go ahead an keep issuing their worthless fiat paper. But no money is to enjoy the privledged status granted by legal tender laws. Let market monies (and Constitutional monies like gold/silver) compete freely and fairly with Federal Reserve issued paper. Let's see which money best serves the needs of the people.

That is why the supreme court allows us to have credit money. That is a separate power from "coining money".. dumbass sheep..
