Clearly the Federal Reserve Act is unconstitutional. An once of gold will still buy about the same goods as it would 100 years ago, A modern dollar is worth about 2 cents in 1922 dollars thanks to the federal reserve letting our money be debased.

What was Mr Trump's policy on this issue, Mort?

Oh, I remember now.
