[QUOTE="cladking, post: 2961088, member: 68"]One can certainly make the argument that a deed worth more than the property or a coin that worth less than its face value is NO OBLIGATION AND NO SECURITY. It would be madness piled on madness to make a "coin" worth more than its face value and then prosecute for "counterfeiting" it. In our world things work on politics and it's politically unwise to establish in a court of law that government is issuing securities and obligations that represent no value at all or even less than no value in this specific case and they are issuing these "obligations" by the billions and when they get thrown away, they issue another to replace it. How can anyone possibly "counterfeit" garbage? History would frown. They will anyway but injustice applied to individuals gets far more notice by history.[/QUOTE]
