By having a gold standard, we the people have leverage by owning capital. Inflation and quantitative easing rip the power of collective capital out from under the feet of the masses. What good are savings and investment when the money can be vomited into existence?

The common person would actually see legitimate INTEREST GROWTH on their finances kept in an investment bank. Not this fractional-to-2% growth on secure deposits. Saving money, being frugal, would be rewarded, even if kept in a freakin' mattress; rather than the debtmax lifestyle of use-it-or-lose-it.

It doesn't seem to be a false leak. I've linked it in other threads to the navy.mil website.

I believe Pence is dirty. But here's a thought exercise:

It takes courage to do the right thing. vs. It takes greater courage to do nothing.

Was rejecting the contested slate of electors an out for Pence? The easier decision? Or would he take the harder path, sticking to some plan, and catch everyone in a treasonous move, including himself.
