<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cmbdii, post: 4646, member: 655&quot;]Well, what&#039;s wrong with all those things is that they are not powers granted to the federal government in the Constitution.&nbsp; The programs are all unconstitutional and the real trouble is that they haven&#039;t been destroyed, and are still destroying us.&nbsp; If those things are good ideas, the Constitution has to be amended to allow for them, or we have no rules for government to follow and they can do whatever they like as long as it isn&#039;t specifically prohibited, or even if it is.&nbsp; FDR, Wilson and Lincoln were all three destructive presidents, IMO.&nbsp; Since the two worst are made idols by having their images on coins, they are the ones who should be subject to scrutiny.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Anyway, Miss Ali could be the next model for Lady Liberty on the coins, because the other Lady Liberty images were surely based on the engravers&#039; idea of a beautiful woman.&nbsp; That would be just fine by me.&nbsp; Naturally, though, it ain&#039;t up to me.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; I would rather have our lawful form of government as precribed in the Constitution.&nbsp; If we had that, we would have sound money, precious metal coins and this hobby would be much more fascinating as well as more affordable for all.&nbsp; When the coinage isn&#039;t tied to precious metals, the issues become so huge that there will be no point in collecting examples of them.&nbsp; Having a cartel of private banks exercising the exclusive Congressional power of issuing money has been massively destructive and will eventually ruin our monetary system if it isn&#039;t stopped.&nbsp; Once our currency collapses, we&#039;ll all be too busy trying to survive to have any hobbies anyway.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
