Paper money is just debt slave money. How do you pay off the debt if every cent you borrow you have to payback in interest? I borrow a $1 now i owe you $1.10 so I borrow $2 to pay you back but now I owe you $1.30... If the government printed its own money it would be a different story but any president that had that idea has been killed. Abe Lincoln and John Kennedy.
