You clearly didn't seem to read anything that I wrote, especially the point about where the constitutional power to make money and set the value comes from. Nor does it seem you understand anything about the Constitution itself. Because you cannot talk about respecting the power of small government and local governments while simultaneously ignoring the document that says any powers that aren't specifically listed here are granted back to the States. So let me say this again, and maybe you can go look it up yourself, the Constitution gives the power to make money and set the value to Congress. Congress gave that power over to the president. There was a time early in the history where states and localities thought that they had the power to make money and it was a big confusing mess. Which is why the power was directly written in to the Constitution that the money is a federally governed thing. So any state or locality that is trying to pass some law or ordinance overriding the making or setting the value of money is automatically wrong. You have representation the power is within Congress every two years you get to reelect around 60 to 70% of Congress. So stop complaining on hacker News and start paying attention to the congressional elections.
