Bachmann bill would ban global currency

It's good to see a Republican try to put a sensible law on the books.  The Dems will have to be quite fearful if we hear anything else about it.  You know, committee here I come.  Bye, bye, real world.

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) has introduced legislation that would "bar the dollar from being replace by any foreign currency." A statement from Bachmann's website:

“Yesterday, during a Financial Services Committee hearing, I asked Secretary Geithner if he would denounce efforts to move towards a global currency and he answered unequivocally that he would," said Bachmann. "And President Obama gave the nation the same assurances. But just a day later, Secretary Geithner has left the option on the table. I want to know which it is. The American people deserve to know."

On Monday, Geithner and Bernanke both rejected the idea of a global currency in Congressional testimony.  But in remarks to the Council on Foreign Relations yesterday, Geithner indicated he was open to the idea.

That's a start.  Now they just need to pass bills banning every other bit of financial stupidity the government is dabling in.

Banning progressive taxes?   Na, not very likely.

....wait, doesn't it work the other way around? You know, the government can only do what we specifically allow?

Or did that not work too well...?

The only guarantee is having the right people in government in the first place and making government aware there is a price to be paid for harming the people.  Thinking that the current crop will stick to their promises or "the law" is idle.
