Participant[quote=NeetaT]or salary cuts for those in congress.[/quote]
The house and senate combined have a payroll of about $94M annually. We blow through that amount of money every 15 hours in Iraq alone.
BTW, if you’re a Hawk that’s “all for war” you should consider enlisting.

ParticipantIt’s not quite accurate to say that the mint has run out of gold. What they’ve run out of is this year’s allocation of gold for minting coins, which is a tiny fraction of US gold reserves. This exact same thing happened last year, and right around this time if I’m not mistaken. At that time I was buying gold coins and ended up buying gold Maple Leafs which were still readily available.

ParticipantNo, gold ownership was made illegal in the 30s for a very specific reason: the dollar was pegged to gold, and there was a run on US gold reserves by foreign noteholders demanding redemption. Shortly after gold ownership was outlawed the dollar was devalued something like 30%.
Now that the dollar is not pegged to gold, it floats freely against it, so I don’t know why private gold ownership would be outlawed again.
