Federal Currency To be Replaced With Gold and Silver In South Carolina?

South Carolina Rep. Mike Pitts has introduced legislation that would mandate that gold and silver coins replace federal currency as legal tender in his state.

As the Palmetto Scoop 
first reported, Pitts, a Republican, introduced legislation this month banning "the unconstitutional substitution of Federal Reserve Notes for silver and gold coin" in South Carolina.

In an interview, Pitts told Hotsheet that he believes that "if the federal government continues to spend money at the rate it's spending money, and if it continues to print money at the rate it's printing money, our economic system is going to collapse."

"The Germans felt their system wouldn't collapse, but it took a wheelbarrow of money to buy a loaf of bread in the 1930s," he said. "The Soviet Union didn't think their system would collapse, but it did. Ours is capable of collapsing also."

  1. Hey hey hey !

    So,ebody with Kahunnas ! I like this guy ( and I'm from Michigan !)

    I like the rest of the article which "they" argued that since gold and silver flucuate in value so much you couldn't base a stabile currency on them !

    What are they talking about ? How stupid do they think we are exactly with our dollar being worth about what 6 cents or so?

    They say it and then back away - it's so humorus
    " flucuate in value" VALUE

    that's a whole lot more than I can say for the dollar ( worthless)

  3. 7:03 is a moron, if the dollar is worthless then I will be happy to take all your $$ and put them in my bank. You need some help in the economics sector. You think the US $$ is in trouble? Look at Euroland, they have more insolvent banks than you can shake a stick at, and in the end the Euro will look like shit compared to the US $$. Then money will flow back into the US $$. All this talk about hyper inflation this and that, blah blah blah.....if you can read between the lines even the FED is dropping hints of deflation.
    All this talk about how silver and gold are the only thing to buy is dangerous strategy at best, we will see new lows soon, then a flight back into $$ and the markets.
    No I am not a friggin troll, just sick of all this talk about how pm's are the only game. $$ has not seen new highs yet folks, just saying keep the broader picture in sight too for more money making oppotunities

  6. 8:32 and 8:35 are ignorant at best and choose to travel the narrow road without looking at the broader picture. I never said we didn't have any debt moron, simply to look around, there is still money to be made amidst all the turmoil....really compelling arguement you two goofballs offer, sound advice indeed. Like I said to the first idiot, if your dollars are worthless give them to me, as mine still buy me goods and food. What happy juice you folks drinking?

  7. That link to the Sacramento story is scary shit. I was there last month on a road trip. Google Elk Grove Promenade, this is a mall just south of the city that sits there like a albatross, unfinished. I got off the exit and road around, very sad. Just sitting and rotting, the tip of the iceberg.

  9. 9:13 I don't think you quite understand what "money" is. Fiat money is just about worthless, it has dropped in buying power over 88% since 1913. The debt will NEVER be paid off, therefore the US dollar will lose its "power" and hit 100%. You, sir, will be stuck with holding the bag, sort of like a bagholder of the worst stock imaginable. I'll trade your gold and you can have my cash. I know you don't have any.The IMF is selling another few hundred tons to China and India, its called a transfer of wealth. What poison are YOU drinking?

  10. 10:00 You must be a liberal Marxist as you want to take others dollars with nothing in return. I'll exchange you my fiat dollars for your gold in an equal dollar amount(1oz of gold at market price of $1101.00 fiat dollars). Come on, do me a favor. Ohh, never mind, I was taught not to take advantage of an idiot.

  14. 8:26. Yes the U.S. dollar with remain the reserve currency for many more years. But that isn't based on it's strength but the overall weakness of all fiat currencies. The dollar index has rebounded from it 74 low to 81. BUT. It was 120 at the start of the last decade. In that time there has been 2 wars that has caused the deficit to more than double. The long run trend for the dollar is down. To pay off the debt you have to devalue the currency. So regardless Gold is going up in the future. That's economics 101. Or economics for dummies. Dummy.

    By the way, you can have deflation and inflation at the same time. If you were alive in the 70's.
