QuoteA South Carolina state politician wants the state to develop its own gold and silver-based currency in case the Federal Reserve collapses and hyper-inflation ensues.
"If folks lose faith in the dollar, we need to have some kind of backup," State Sen. Lee Bright told the Spartanburg Herald Journal's Stephen Largen. His bill asks a committee to look into the development of a state currency, citing the Constitution and Supreme Court precedents to prove the bill's legality.

Riiiiight.  I guess he figures S Carolingians will never have to buy anything outside of their own state?  What's the credit card exchange rate?  And I guess he wants the people of his state to basically just never move outside or travel outside.

Insular logic followed by chauvinistic moves FTL.

I laugh at the idea of RI doing this. Our money would be based on the air standard.

If Luna was a furry, she'd sex humans and scream "BEASTIALITY!" at the top of her lungs at inopportune times.

Except where RI money is based on the price of air. Could you imagine exchanging with California?  Their money would be based on garbage from the Hollywood Hills.

No, fairly certain he's still reasonably sane.  If not, I volunteer to chain him to a bed and re-educate him.

Hold my calls, this could take awhile.

Section 1, article 8:
"The Congress shall have power to ... coin money [and] regulate the value thereof...

Yep, Bright sure does know his stuff.
