Only one problem with using Gold or Silver for US Money. Fort Knox is empty. All the gold has either gone to countries who demanded gold for payments or in the hand of collectors. The Silver is with collectors. Basically the US is totally devoid of anything of true value.
Don’t forget the Republicans also want to sell them our public lands AND National Parks. They’ve already got all the gold, silver, oil and gas wrapped up in sales (sub-prime) to foreign corporations and operators. That those resources if properly charged for (it’s called fees) would eliminate the deficit, AND the national debt in about three years means nothing to them or their “buddies abroad”.

^^ Wasn’t it Nixon who went to China?
Most of the negotiations for NAFTA were made by Bush sr.

Weaker dollar makes imports from China more expensive and U.S. exports cheaper.
It’s not as if China hasn’t been artificially keeping its currency down to promote its exports…
