Why are states pushing for a return to the gold standard?

The dollar is extremely under valued by our debt and spending. Other countries are pushing for another currency to use in the monetary world. America is going to hell in a hand basket while liberals rant we need more funding. At this time in our lives with our financial problems we should be willing to cut back as much as possible. But the lying libs will say grandma will have to eat dog food.

She will not have anything after Obama screws us over.

Because Fiat currency is unconstitutional and the Constitution says that we must use the Gold standard

Because the paper the dollar is printed on is almost worth more than the dollar itself.

Currency needs to be floating. We cannot go back to a strict system based on gold. It's impossible.

how will that even work in Utah?

can you imagine going into a local Target and pulling out your gold coins of indescriminate value to pay for it and the look on the cashier's face? lol... but it WILL BE legal tender... according to the state?

Because they don't understand the modern monetary system, and they have the delusion that the gold standard is the cure for half of our problems.

Because they haven't yet realized that there isn't enough gold in existence to back all the money we've printed.
