THE DESTRUCTION OF THE U.S. DOLLAR
You that trample on the needy, and bring ruin to the poor of
the land, saying... We will make the ephah small and the
shekel great, and practice deceit with false balances.
Amos 8, verses 4-5
"It is apparent from the whole context of the Constitution
as well as the history of the times which gave birth to it,
that it was the purpose of the Convention to establish a
currency consisting of the precious metals. These were
adopted by a permanent rule excluding the use of a
perishable medium of exchange, such as of certain
agricultural commodities recognized by the statutes of some
States as tender for debts, or the still more pernicious
expedient of paper currency."
-- Andrew Jackson, 1836
"There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the
existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The
process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the
side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one
man in a million is able to diagnose."
-- John Maynard Keynes, 1920
