More Republican craziness

[CowboyBob]

We all know the Republican party is populated by useless morons. Here's even more proof.

Sen. Lee Bright, Republican from South Carolina, is concerned about the US debt and decided to form a committee to study if South Carolina should mint it's own currency.

He's going to squander taxpayer dollars and waste time studying this.

Of course, Republicans wipe their asses with the US Constitution all the time:

Article 1 Section 10: 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.

If you're really concerned about the possibility of hyper inflation, you can already buy cold and silver (but for God's sake, don't buy it from the places Glen Beck advertises, you're throwing away your money). Why isn't he working on jobs jobs jobs instead of this money and time wasting idiocy? Lee Bright is an idiot.

^ uhyup.

But he's doing it for the press as much as anything I'll wager.

Or else he is totally the stupidest man in his state.

I'm guessing he's being a media whore as well. But who's a bigger moron. Somebody who recognizes a problem and points it out by being absurd? Or our friends at the FED who are printing money out of thin air and see no problem with it?

Democrats are corrupt like republicans

Did anyone notice that this is the fourth state to look at the option? Georgia, Virginia, and Missouri are doing the same thing.

Jesus dude, you have no idea what you're talking about. You really should start a thread about QE2 and your "beliefs" so they can be "delved into".

Rather than being dismissive and smarmy, why not try adding in a constructive way to the discussion? The states are getting concerned about the possible effects of hyperinflation that could be triggered by the significant increase in the money supply that the FED has undertaken. Anyone with an elementary understanding of economics can see the downside of what they are doing. We've seen significant increases in many prices commodities as a result of those actions.

I do not agree with states issuing their own currency, but it appears it's merely designed as a means of spurring discussion about the relative merits of FED policy. Perhaps you'd care to address those issues?
