New No son, you have no choice
"Only if we all agree to value the currency, is it worth anything"
If every person in America agreed to back the dollar with gold it doesnt matter. The Federal Reserve, an Agency that none of the branches have any control over can tell us all to fsck off.

New Interesting read, but that's not what I meant.
I'm looking it over, will report back later with my own thoughts 'n feelings. However, I was referring to the whole idea of "confidence" - if everybody becomes convinced that the almighty $ ain't worth the tp it's printed on...

...then it ain't. Doesn't matter whether or not the Federal Reserve and their cronies back it.
