  Wake up Frank.  Ever hear of inflation?  Have you noticed that we're
using paper money in this country?  And that the gov't just prints more
when it feels like it, and then has the Federal Reserve loan it to them
(presumably to make the whole thing look respectable)?  Does it occur to
you that because we have a centralized monetary system we are vulnerable
to the machinations of those who control said system?
