Dear Republicans:

So long as you keep incredibly stupid shiat like this up, please stop getting outraged when the rest of us tell you that you don't understand how money works. Because clearly, you don't. And this is Exhibit #1 as to why you shouldn't be allowed control of a $10 piggybank, much less a state or national economy.

Thanks,

Those of us who DO understand how money works

Virginia has gone full Arizona

/you folks voted for this?

No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.

when the Federal Reserve crashes


I stockpiled Geoffrey Dollars against just such an eventuality.

Bob Marshall is the Westboro Baptist of the Virginia General Assembly.

I'm ready to trade bags of salt for ammunition when the time comes.

Virginia: Where radar detectors are illegal but DON"T YOU DARE TOUCH MAH GUNS 0BONGO!

republicans are farking nuts. seriously farking nuts. they're all goddamned SHTF preppers now. guns. gold. what's next? shelters?

Sure didn't. Democrat Chap Petersen is my state senator.

Virginia takes pride in having its own culture and history, its own unique way of doing business.

Uh .... okay.

But does the commonwealth also need its own money?

Maybe so, says Del. Robert Marshall (R-Prince William), who is pushing a bill in the General Assembly that would mandate a study of whether the state "should adopt an alternate medium of commerce or currency to serve as an alternative to the currency distributed by the Federal Reserve System in the event of a major breakdown of the Federal Reserve System."

This. Is. Bullsh*t. It is a way to funnel money to some friends or business associates.

I hope the taxpayers of Virginia are happy with the way their representatives are wasting spending their tax dollars.

Constitutionally, it can only be gold or silver. If they want to do that, go ahead.

Since it's by that party the money is being backed by rape

And liberals should be create a new state militia to round all those bastards up and line them up on the wall.

I gotta admire their moxie. Somehow, the currency backed by the full faith and credit of the federal government of the United States won't be enough, but Virginia -- surely the greatest of the 50 states -- will be trustworthy in the eyes of the world.

Ahh it's Bob Marshall, The only GOP politician in the state who makes "Taliban Ken" Cuccinelli look sane

These are the same farkers who claim Obama is destroying the constitution. Farking Tea Baggers need to stop studying things out.

I'd love to see what their papermoney would look like.

Because the suburban office parks in Fairfax do business way differently than the suburban office parks in Charlotte.

Yeesh. Even the states are becoming precious and unique snowflakes.

So I assume you are running for office then?

Measures like this wouldn't be needed if Soshalist Muslin HUSSEIN Fartbongo weren't farking up our country!

I would give every penny I own for required psychological examinations as a prerequisite for holding public office.

I LOVE MY HOME STATE! never short on the crazy...

Ima probably spend all my Virginiabux™ on rape wands.

Denominations of 1's and 2's and potato.

Inorite? If he wasn't made of muslin, maybe instead a good silk or even cotton, I'd be all for him. It's that muslin that gets to me.

I thought the backup currency was Tide detergent.

Or is that another demographic?

When I lived in Mississippi in the 1990s, my parents in Virginia sent my son, who was in fourth or fifth grade at time, some money on his birthday. His friend replied, "Gosh, Virginia money looks just like Mississippi money."

It would have to include a bald eagle, a rifle and Dale Earnhardt's "33"

Man, this is seriously bad idea.

Gold standard?
Sure, why not...

/on the other hand, one fiat currency is as good as any other.

If the nickels have a picture of a bumblebee on them they might win some support.

I am waiting for the return of CP money.

Damn. Just looked at a dollar bill from my wallet, and it was printed by those crazy maniacs in San Francisco!

Half of us didn't. Virginia is gerrymandered to look crazier than it actually is.

wow, just wow.

It's a contest between derisive laughter and a groaning facepalm and I seem to have combined them into one complicated gesture.

Two great tastes that taste great together!

Oddly, occupy san francisco was demanding that people should have the right to print their own money. Still a bad idea, no matter which side brings it up.

The subject here is not money, but currency.

//FTW

Meh, it only violates the Constitution, no big deal.

What must Bob's sister think of all this?

How about bitcoins?
