The truth isn't political Hillfarmer, it simply is the truth. The money that banks ran out of in 1929 was gold and silver, not paper currency. That's not going to be a problem if there's another run on the banks in this day and age, is it.

There's a reason that FDR issued Executive Order 6102 a month after taking the oath of office, right? That's not political; it is our history, just like a lot of other things, some pleasant, some not, are part of our history.

Yes, not everything is political although it may seem that way to some. Agreed.
This is an interesting thread. Learning some and enjoying it.
