>>So, then, I take it there is nothing the US government can do that can be found "wrong"?<< No, there are specific waivers of sovereign immunity in the US code. As I stated, you can sue the US for breach of contract (Tucker Act and Little Tucker Act), for tort (Federal Tort Claims Act), for violation of civil rights (43 USC 1983, etc.), and some other things. Better be sure you understand the Administrative Procedure Act before you begin. Even for torts (negligence) there is an exception for discretionary functions (you can't sue the Weather Bureau for not forecasting a storm) >>Even if it can be proven the US Government has given unfair advantage to some?<< The assumption is that the activities of the government are intended to be benign. If someone commits fraud he's not acting as an agent of the government. Keeping the price of any commodity low may harm those who own the commodity but help those who don't. How can you prove that keeping the price of gold low hurt the country as a whole? I've got a couple of gold inlays that say you're wrong. -g-
