Gold is legal here in Utah
"Utah Restores
Gold and Silver as Official
Money, Starts Trend. In 2011,
Utah became the first state to do so by recognizing
gold and silver
coins that are issued by the United States as
money. Of course, Federal Reserve Notes, the U.S. paper
currency, are not backed by
gold and silver."
States Restoring Gold and Silver as Money
Your $1 Federal Reserve Note is worth about 4 cents. It's one of the reasons things cost so much now compared to when the dollar was actually backed by a store of value (gold and silver) prior to 1971. It's why you now get less product at a much higher price. It was in 1971 that they stopped backing the dollar by a store of value and started backing the dollar by Federal Reserve Notes (IOUs). Monetized debt. The Federal Reserve Note is almost completely devalued now. Consumers have very, very little purchasing power. Which Toddster failed to mention. He doesn't understand what a store of value means.
To fill your gas tank with silver would cost you about a couple of silver dimes. You wouldn't pay for something of lesser value with a 50 dollar gold coin.
Toddster is an intellectually dishonest hack. He doesn't even know what real money is.
Don't be misled by his intellectual dishonesty. I don't even bother responding to him anymore. Frankly, I'm just bored with kicking him around. Only reason he's not on ignore is because I don't wanna let him mislead others who might not understand this stuff. Because he'll try. He's a weasel.
Anyway. End of the day it's like this. Your state, Utah, is sticking to the Constitution.
The United States Constitution states in Article I, Section 10, "No state shall...make anything but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts."
Toddster hates the constitution. He hates the middle class. Though, he does put on a good pretend show fronting like he's some kind of fiscal conservative. He's not. Not at all. He's a big old fake. A fraudster. In fact, we should all call him Toddster the fraudster. lol. He wants to continue monetizing debt with Federal Reserve Note IOUs for the benefit of further enriching the 1% while the rest of us get to pay the principal plus interest to the Federal Reserve's collection wing, the IRS every year on that 23 trillion dollars worth of debt that the policy he advocates caused.
