标 题: Utah House Passes Bill Recognizing Gold, Silver as Legal Tender

Utah took its first step Friday toward bringing back the gold standard when
the state House passed a bill that would recognize gold and silver coins
issued by the federal government as legal currency.
The House voted 47-26 in favor of the legislation that would also exempt the
sale of gold from the state capital gains tax and calls for a committee to
study alternative currencies for the state.
The legislation now heads to the state Senate, where a vote is expected next
week.
Under the bill, the coins would not replace the current paper currency but
would be used and accepted voluntarily as an alternative.
If the bill passes, Utah would become the first of 13 states that have
proposed similar measures. The others states are Colorado, Georgia, Montana,
Missouri, Indiana, Iowa, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee
, Vermont and Washington.
Backers of Utah's bill say they want to send a message to the rest of the
country.
"People sense that in the era of quantitative easing and zero interest rates
, something has gone haywire with our monetary policy," said Jeffrey Bell,
policy director for the Washington-based American Principles in Action,
which helped shape the bill.
"If one state recognizes gold as a valid currency, I think it would embolden
people not just in other states but in Washington," he said.
The U.S. used the gold standard from 1873 until 1933, when President
Franklin D. Roosevelt outlawed the private ownership of gold amid the Great
Depression. President Richard Nixon abandoned the gold standard altogether
when he announced in 1971 that the U.S. would no longer convert dollars to
gold at a fixed value.
Critics of the gold standard say it limits countries' control over its
monetary policy and leaves them vulnerable to financial shocks, such as the
Great Depression. But supporters argue that the current financial system's
dependence on the Federal Reserve exposes the value of U.S. money to the
risk of runaway inflation. | s****y

人愿意吧。不用说金币了，大家钱包里的纸币恐怕都没多少。
其实现代金融的核心是信用，是纸币还是金币都是一样的，只不过纸币比金币的信用扩

能适应现代经济活动的需要，为了要让经济充分活动起来，还是要靠信用。
其实只要美国航母还在全世界称霸，美元纸币多发点也没问题。当然，要是像利比亚那
样，国将不国，没了信用，那只能靠硬通货了。
