Warning - Your Government Wants To Rob You Again

.
"A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight."  Proverbs 11:1

"Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable?  Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?  For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth."  Micah 6:10-12

***************
For some time I have been saving all nickels and pre-1982 pennies that come into my possession.  This is due to the fact that nickels have the same metal content they have always had, and are now worth a bit more than 5 cents.  Pre-1982 Lincoln pennies are mostly real copper and are worth about 2 and a half cents each. 

Now comes this word that the Treasury department wants authority to alter the metal content of coins one more time:

Notice particularly one sentence in the proposal:

“The Secretary shall prescribe the weight and the composition of the dollar, half-dollar, quarter-dollar, dime, 5-cent, and one-cent coins..."

Now let's compare that with the supposed supreme law of the land, the US Constitution.  I say supposed because, well you can read it for yourself from Article 1 Section 8 (emphasis mine):

"The Congress shall have power to... coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures..."

But of course the same "supreme law of the land" also says,

"No State shall...  make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts..."

This is more proof that the government totally disregards the Constitution, and does what it dern' well pleases in spite of it.  Which is why I'm no longer a constitutionalist.
