I looked it up, one says Roosevelt took it off in 1933 another says Nixon did in 1971.

I agree. My reason is that the people in Congress (ar least most) are not stupid and have to know what they are doing to the future of America and Americans with both their constant borriwing/spending and overloading our nation with millions of burdensome foreigners every year. I have no idea who is behind this destruction of the USA, but so much is happening and has been for at least a dozen years. We no longer catch our breathe about one new chaotic happening than up crops another. Commonsense says there must be intent behind all of it. We have an insane, unplayable national debt that our leaders keep recklessly increasing, those same leaders spend our money not on our own nation's actual needs but on frivolous things like the Kennedy Center and on foreign nations that never change. We add 2-3 million new needy, greedy, scamming foreigners to our nation every year and give the majority most of our rights/benefits while requiring nothing of them not even assimilation or becoming citizens. We allow these people to use our own laws and courts against us, as in illegals using our courts to avoid being deported. We allow lying foreigners to get asylum here for almost any reason they mention, same with refugees. Instead of forcing hundreds of thousands of foreigners here on a temporary status because of some natural disaster in their nations to return home as they should have many years ago, now they are going to be given permanent legal status and green cards just like legal immigrants. So many negative things happening constantly and our citizenry becoming more and more divided. And the result of it all is that our country is quickly becoming weaker, more foolish, heading hell bent for collapse and failure as a nation, at which point the USA will be ripe for take over, perhaps by China and Mexico, who knows.

I wholeheartedly agree. Our nation is in serious trouble. Once they get into office it next to impossible to get them out. They spend most of their time, on the phone, building their war-chest and promising freebies to illegals for their vote. Now they want to give them stimulus money and social security they’ve never paid into. I’m 85 and don’t have many years to worry about it but I worry about my children and grandchildren. Still, I hate to see what’s happening to our country even if I didn’t have family.

I believe it was FDR who did something like make us turn all our gold in or take gold out of coinage if there was any.

The Ms.

Nixon...

Nope! They return to their ships to continue doing their part to protect their country for a meager below poverty level compensation. Any other comments/questions that I can help you with?
