This is a speech Davy Crockett gave to congress-
Davy Crocket and Farmer Bunce: "Not yours to give"
It could be argued that it's not our money either- our Fiat currency is on loan from the Federal Reserve-
I remember when our currency was called Silver Certificate- when I was in the Navy we were discouraged from using US Silver Certificates (US Dollars) in foreign ports because they could be redeemed for Silver and we didn't want to give our Silver to foreign countries- thanks to that nice Republican, Richard M. Nixon, we now use Federal Reserve Notes- we pay taxes, most notably federal taxes to the Treasury Dept (ostensibly) and they are collected with the threat of force by the IRS, to be given to the Federal Reserve (a privately owned bank) for profit- at our expense- that, to me, means fed taxes should be called user fees- of course John Roberts would probably decide they are a Fine and perfectly acceptable- whatever, John. Anyway, congress was granted the power to coin money and set the value there of- why do they borrow numbers on a computer screen and ignore their bound duty? Hell, if they wanted to they could coin pinto beans and make them whatever value they wanted- why don't they?
