    oh i see what you mean. i thought you meant the upper class as in rich people holding on to cash but i would argue that the money isn't circulating that much either. so much of it is just sitting as excess reserves accruing the same interest as required reserves. the demand for cash is huge due...

    SOPA and PIPA

    the 'business interest' rhetoric is a bit off. this isn't about business, this is about copyright holders (businesses just so happen to hold a lot of copyrights). it will empower small and big copyright holders alike. you might also mention how this issue has been framed ('theft of...

    not necessarily. it's entirely a thought experiment. and it depends what kind of gold standard anyone means (is it a system with notes 100% backed by a fixed amount of gold, or less?). its more likely to be a mixed metal standard anyways considering gold and silver prices behave differently to...

    no, he wants to make gold and silver legal tender for public-private transactions. he can't do anything about the constitutionality of fiat currency. our current situation is the aberation also he could never make it happen. it'd be like deriding a candidate for endorsing a federally funded...
