Just Simple Truth.

My faith is truth. Not personal beliefs. The harsh reality of it. I don’t care in anyway what political party, What ism, or from where it comes from.

@Holden_Culotta @RobertKennedyJr @FoxNews The 34 trillion dollars is sitting in an account, you could call it a savings account at the fed. In the form of bonds, a financial instrument used to pay the elites free money. Every time the Congress spends money into existence. @FindingMoneyDoc

Remember when Trump had all the farmers at the White House in March bragging about the Ethanol?

“Among the announcements, Trump said his administration issued an emergency order this week allowing immediate sales of E15 fuel — a gasoline blend containing 15% ethanol — and called on Congress to authorize E15 sales year-round.”

The Gold Clause Cases (1935): A series of Supreme Court cases that upheld the Roosevelt administration's adjustment of the gold standard during the Great Depression.

[?whispers? @litewhisperer]

Congress has broad, exclusive, and constitutionally sanctioned authority to regulate the nation's currency—including coining money, issuing paper currency, and making it legal tender. That is the law as established by the Supreme Court in Juilliard v. Greenman and subsequent.

[?whispers? @litewhisperer]

As the majority in Juilliard made clear, the power over currency is one of those delegated powers, not an inherent attribute of sovereignty.

[?whispers? @litewhisperer]

In the American constitutional system, sovereignty resides in the people, not in Congress. The federal govt, including Congress, is a govt of delegated powers—it can exercise only those powers granted by the Constitution.

[?whispers? @litewhisperer]

The Supreme Court has consistently construed this grant as authorising Congress to regulate every phase of currency, including the issuance of paper money and the making of such notes legal tender.

[?whispers? @litewhisperer]

This power is exclusive—states are prohibited from coining money or making anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts.

Why does money have the value that it has? This is a surprisingly difficult question in economics.

In some newly-updated work, I formalize the answer to this question that comes from Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), but using standard mainstream modeling techniques.
