#3 So everyone shifts over to plastic. How has Mike Pitts solved his states' problems then? And if the world falls apart who really thinks Gold will be valuable still? Yeah its rare but so will gasoline be. He should ensure gasoline is the next currency, just in case.

And North Carolina should ensure bullets are their currency so they can take all that gasoline.

This is just stupid on so many levels. I hope he had a point and wans't actually serious.

I don't know about that--the Federal government is larger and they keep repeating the same mistakes...is that not the definition of craziness?

#6 This could be very good! The Federal Reserve is its own government. It has never been audited and since they changed from backing money with gold and silver, NO ONE knows what the paper money is worth. No one knows where the money has gone and is going.. Its the greatest ponzi scheme ever conceived. This is one way to either end it, or find out exactly what our money is worth.
