Also another thing. What would happen to the Check Processing job of the Federal Reserve? Most of the Feds work, especially outside Washington, is in Check Processing. What do you plan to do with that branch of the Federal Reserve?

I do not support this bill.  If emergency funds are needed, and the gold is not present to cover it, the government will be in ruin.

This bill would, among other things, force at least some fiscal responsibility on the government.  No longer could we rely on the intential inflation of our dollar to cover over mounting debt.

Even when the US was on the gold standard, it devalued the gold dollar by making it smaller in the 1830's.

Furthermore, the government might become corrupt with people trying to control the value of the greenback versus the gold dollar to their benefit.

I would ask that my Senators vote Nay on this bill. I haven't seen how the Gold Standard would better suit Atlasia than the current system. Also, as I have said before, this bill does not say what will happen to key areas of the Federal Reserve if it is shut down, including check processing and where the gold currently in Federal Reserve Vaults will go. For those reasons I implore my Senators and the remaining Senators to vote Nay on this proposal.

By default it will go all to the department of treasure.
Please, dear collegaues, ignore the backstabber.

Backstabber? I have never liked this bill. Just because I don't agree with ever single one of your positions doesn't make me a backstabber.

You yourself said you think the gold-standard is the better than the current system. The currenct funtions of teh Fed belonged to the department of treasure before the Federal Reserve Act. Since this repeals the Federal Reserve Act by default, those funtions go back to the Department of Treasure. It must take a great  bitterness to implore the senators to vote nay on account of that.

When did I say the the gold standard was better? I do not remember saying this and actually my first conversation with you about this bill was stating my opposition to it. Stop being a baby just because somebody doesn't agree with you all the time.
