you are either not reading all if it or you dare deliberately lying ... I am going to go with the latter



No you are making logical jumps that make zero



no you are a liar, the last 2 sources go I provided go beyond the use of counterfeit, it prohibits any use of gold and silver

you are just like Cutt, when reality and fact disprove your ideological POV you just lie and hope that it will stick

No you are trying to make logical leaps... it says nothing about gold or silver being used in a transaction... You are trying to throw the U.S. constitution under the bus again for your ideology.

Only congress is allowed to make legal tender... this is to prevent a state from making their own currency and disrupting commerce throughout the nation because no uniform value... push for a constitutional amendment for you to mint your own currency/ find someone to trade gas for gold.

Section 486 of title 13

"Whoever, except as authorized by law, makes or utters or passes, or attempts to utter or pass, any coins of gold or silver or other metal, or alloys of metals, intended for use as current money, whether in the resemblance of coins of the United States or of foreign countries, or of original design, shall be fined under this title (!1) or imprisoned not more than five years, or both. "

Section 489 of title 13

"Whoever, within the United States, makes or brings therein from any foreign country, or possesses with intent to sell, give away, or in any other manner uses the same, except under authority of the Secretary of the Treasury or other proper officer of the United States, any token, disk, or device in the likeness or similitude as to design, color, or the inscription thereon of any of the coins of the United States or of any foreign country issued as money, either under the authority of the United States or under the authority of any foreign government shall be fined under this title."

Gas is 3.14/gallon here.

I think it's a pretty reasonable cost.



reasonable because?



the price includes sales tax and all the other taxes. so it's like <2.99/gallon which is the same as milk plus funding for repairing roads.

i do agree the price of oil should be lower.. maybe around $60-70/barrel. But future contracts bork the supply/demand.

I dont understand this whole thing. Why are these oil companies allowed to profit so much off of this? Oil hasn't gone up but speculation has driven the price of fuel at the pumps through the roof. How come my meaningless salary is being used to line the pockets of people who already have more money than they know what to do with when I can barely afford food, let alone education? As silly as it sounds, someone as simple as oil pushes us farther and farther away from having middle classes. Won't be long until its just the Upper class and the Welfare class.



whats not to understand ? they own our politicians therefore they play the game off of their rules.

The owner of the gas can take whatever he wants for it.



not so in pennsylvania (at least), there station owners have to fair price it, not a certain % below or above the area average

According to that site a silver dime from 1925 (which was actually 10% copper) would be worth $2.44 today. So it wouldn't quite buy a gallon of gas. Both silver and oil are commodities and their values can fluctuate relative to one another. Just switching to the gold/silver standard can't possibility guarantee that the price of oil will never go up. If the demand for oil goes up and the supply of oil goes down the price is going to go up relative to whatever currency you use.



take away the taxes on gas that did not exist in 1925 and where does the price fall to?

your obtuseness is noted



Where exactly do you keep these notes?

this has been a very mild winter and I've used half the heating oil I did last year. So why is heating oil floating around 4 bucks a gallon?

why you not work suppry demand?
