I have written before that when I was a market-maker in gold and one of the three largest in the country, the IRS walked in and declared me to be a bank and then I was supposed to report everyone who bought or sold gold in $10,000 amounts or more. They cited the Constitution saying that gold and silver were money thereby making me a bank because Nixon only closed the gold window, he never\u00a0<strong>DEMONITIZED<\/strong>\u00a0gold. So I was suddenly a bank in no need of such a license for the purposes of the IRS. Hence, I retired.<\/p>\n<p>This raises an interesting question. Can Congress create a digital dollar constitutionally?<b><u>\u00a0<\/u><\/b>The question of money was thus settled directly in the Constitution because each state had previously issued its own coinage and paper bills-of-credit (paper money).<\/p>\n<p><em>Article 1 \u2013 The Legislative Branch<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Section 10 \u2013 Powers Prohibited of States<\/em><br \/>\n<em>&lt;&lt;Back | Table of Contents | Next&gt;&gt;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canada &amp; The Canceling of its Currency QUESTION #1:\u00a0If Canada is not a dictatorship, how can Trudeau cancel the dollar?
