See, this is exactly why I want my own nuclear tipped cruise missile. Plutonium maintains its value and if the government tries to take it away from me I can shoot the damn thing at the white house.

No no no! We need to back ON the gold standard! Haven't you heard???

Screw gold, I want the plutonium standard. Not just shinny, but glows in the dark and can be rigged to blow up if anyone tries to steal it from you.

Do you know how many Americans have possession of real physical gold? Very, very few. It wouldn't be worth their time. They're much more likely to go after your paper assets.

That's only because they can't get their hands on plutonium.

That's why you buy Glenn Beck Gold -- it comes wrapped in tinfoil so the gold detectors in the black SUVs can't find it!

we don't need a gold standard. all we need is a population and government that understands "live within your means." not a difficult concept in theory, but many people seem to have problems understanding it.

actually all we need is a seperation of government and corporation, and put an end to government being bought out by the commerce sector.

both skilled and unskilled workers need the ability to make a fair wage above poverty level to support their households.

its time to stop the wealthy elite from reaping record profits while paying slaves wages.

Its really sad that a company like the federal reserve can wield so much power.

I have to wonder, who is really in charge of this nation, the people, or the banks.

I honestly can't believe that was passed. Regardless of anyones opinion on the gold standard, the passing of that EO was a huge over stepping by the federal government into our personal lives.

Yes it passed. It even stuck around until the 70's.

You have to wonder? :biggrin:

No, not really. After the feds bailed out the banks, and enslaved the American people to more taxes, there is nothing left to wonder about.

We work for the banks in one way or another.

Bitter much? Unskilled labor shouldn't make a fair wage above poverty levels. They're UNSKILLED!!!
