<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1875597, member: 26302&quot;]I guess I would just ask why? If they find a huge strike of silver tomorrow you want everything you buy to cost twice as much because the value of one single commodity has dropped? Or what if two of the biggest mines have incidents, the dollar should triple in value? What is the rational to have our entire economy tied to only one commodity? Why not copper? Why not oil? Why not double cheeseburgers, coffee beans, frozen orange juice? I simply do not understand why everything should be priced in only one commodity. Most of the country does not want to own silver, does not use silver, and frankly could care less if their coins contain silver. So why should this be shoved down their throats? I am pretty sure the orange industry would like the dollar to be tied to huge piles of inventory of frozen orange juice, too, as it would be inflationary for their industry, I simply do not think the rest of us want to give the orange growers such a huge welfare benefit at the costs to our pocketbook.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
