Paraphrasing one of my many perceptive readers who also favors a gold standard: Since governments produce nothing of any real value, in order for government to grow, it must extort and exploit the money supply.

The Keep Nine Amendment: A Permanent Solution to Threats of Court-Packing
“I think that was a bad idea when President Franklin Delano Roosevelt tried to pack the court. If anything would make the court appear more partisan, it would be that. So, I am not at all in favor of that solution. Nine seems to be a good number. It’s been that way for a […]
