I learned this on the History channel. But that selling Federal land thing got me wondering - how much is undeveloped Federal land worth per acre? Maybe we can base our currency on the 'Dirt Standard'?

A homeless man on a bus once told me that he had a plan to take all the pennies out of circulation and use them to make copper wire. The wire would then be run to every house in America and through these wires everyone would get free electricity, which would be paid for by the pennies that had been used to make the wire. So the plan is very simple-- find some coinage to take out of circulation, use it to make something to give to the American people for free, and all the free stuff will be paid for by the coinage!

The fact that they stole it from us is not even in their thought process. Lewis Carroll in Alice in Wonderland had the Queen saying "All ways are my ways". Our government changes this slightly " All money is the governments money." Same concept, same general royalty type attitude.

To add to your brilliance, let me add some of mine. Their extortion racket began to wear thin in the 50's and 60's when we built up a huge nuclear stockpile. So, the people started saying, "Why do I need to pay you to protect me when I already bought you come cool nukes and now no one ever attacks us anymore?" They responded with, "Damn. They're right!" And then quickly added, "But, if you don't give us your money to give to to POOR people, they'll riot and take your stuff" And the Great Society was born.

In order to kill all those trees, they are going to have to use gas motors, thus creating twice the global warming with the missing trees and gas motors. Then they will have to burn several tons more coal to produce the steel for the wind generators for the printing presses. They will also have to kill a bunch of trees to make room for the wind generators. Then of course harry reid will have to talk more to get the turbines to spin. Then of course they will have to print twice as much money to pay for the wind generators and to keep bidens mouth shut.
