South Carolina Wants To Do What??

Have their own currency.

Have you ever heard of anything stupider?

My guess is not since last week’s

situation.

South Carolina Rep. Mike Pitts wants to make legislation that will mandate gold and silver coins to replace the regular money all 50 states already use. His reasoning?  He fears economic collapse and the value of the dollar plummeting even more. He says, quote, (Courtesy CBSNews.com):

“if the federal government continues to spend money at the rate it’s spending money, and if it continues to print money at the rate it’s printing money, our economic system is going to collapse.”

Okay.

I get where he is starting out with this general idea: A genuine concern for America’s stagnant economy with many reminiscent signs of a time in the not-so-far-away-when-you-really-think-about-it 1929.

Where he ends up is losing all known credibility is trying to instate wood chips as currency instead of continuing use of stupid things like “The Dollar Bill” (which he described as “paper with ink on it”) and “The Quarter”.

This will not be passed.

The mere fact that this has garnered more attention than a chuckle should be enough to set off a huge warning. He has people backing him on this–even if only transcribing these farcical ideas, is disturbing enough.

This doofus wants to amend one of the few 2 tangibly obvious parts of the constitution we actually can still apply today from a 234 year old document sent to make ridiculous predictions about the future.

Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution: “that federal reserve notes are legal tender for all debts public and private.”

Meaning: You can’t just break off & make your own f*cking federal rules as a state. Even if you both owe someone who looks like this:

money. I think we saw the south pull some sort of secession sh*t trick like this before:

I mean, how annoyed do you already get after receiving change from the store & realizing one of them is a stupid f*cking Canadian coin??

Can you imagine having to deal with that sh*t with “currency” from inside the states??

What are some suggestions we can have for the congressman?

Perhaps a barter system?

Human trafficking?

Pop Tarts?

Carrot Top?

(He’s definitely done anal. On several different occasions)

All of these would probably be viable substitutes in Pitts’ opinion, considering the mere value of silver & gold constantly fluctuate themselves, thus changing the value of the damn coin again & creating the same problem he was trying to “avoid” cause because it’s evident he has absolutely nothing to do when the days come in the first place.

Where are the people of South Carolina on this one??

Can you think of anything else your rep can fight for besides this obviously worthy & urgent cause?

Dems: 1, Reps: 0

At least you still have Petey Pablo as a rep, Carolinas:
