We almost had one except for the loser Senator from Pennsylvania Arlen Specter. He was the vote the stopped it. See where he is now. He was shocked he lost in the last election and had big gripes about the election too and based on what he said, it was all about himself and nothing more. There are probably ways to cheat on a balanced budget. Take stuff off budget for example, certain expenditures don't count. They've already played these accounting games. I'm talking about a currency that is backed 1:1 by something of value. None of this crap that the Federal Reserver and Treasury pulled in the 1920's where they printed a lot more silver and gold certificates than they had actual metal backing it. When banks started failing and people demanded the physical and the banks did not have it, going all the way up the chain straight to the Federal Reserve and Treasury who didn't have the metal either that they needed. This is the big secret about the Gold confiscation that has been rewritten in the history books which say there was some kind of conspiracy of gold hoarders out there. What a bunch of conspiracy nonsense. I'd require audits of actual silver and gold holdings including any agreements to lease gold and silver which is another banker scam making you think they own the gold in the vaults when they don't. I'd alse require random destructive testing of bars to check for salting of bars. I'd make it a life sentence for orchestrating any kind of fraud whatsoever with printing currency in excess of metal reserves. These draconian checks and balances are necessary based on the Govt's own scamster history.
