<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikem2000, post: 1875442, member: 30574&quot;]I think you mis-understood.&nbsp; Slide rules were great...&nbsp; in their day.&nbsp; I carried one around all through high school even as calculators started becoming affordable, but what you thought was an argument actually makes my point.&nbsp; Yes we did point a man on the moon with slide rules, but if we were to do it again, do you really believe we would use them again????&nbsp; Same with silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also it would probably be the worst idea to have a new &quot;silver dollar&quot;.&nbsp; You even started in with the problems.&nbsp; We need to put less silver than it is really worth in case silver goes up????&nbsp; Now we have a partially backed dollar and the rest is valued in fiat???&nbsp; Sounds like a mess to me, and why would we tie up a valuable industrial resource in our currency that is needed for other things.&nbsp; Seems it would be putting upward pressure on the commodity and cut into the bottom line of those who need silver for industry for no reason.&nbsp; This of course would put downward pressure on the economy.&nbsp; What is the logic on that?</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Sure, the price of silver may go up but also remember what we learned about the Gold standard.&nbsp; You can have Gold or the Gold Standard, but not both. It might be the same for silver.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
