 Don't recall which logical fallacy I'm trying to think of, but tell me louis... How would 'our country' repay 'its debt' if we DON'T move to a bitcoin standard? 

It's like saying "how will me not eating sugar at every meal make uncle joes foot grow back?" Nothing's going to do that, but there's no reason for me to suffer the same fate.

Moreover, why do I give a single tiny little shit whether politicians can pay back the money THEY borrowed? When they default, I'm not taking responsibility for their irresponsibility and would encourage the people who are owed, to go directly to joe biden, nancy pelosi, mit romney et al. You can get $2,000,000,000.00 out of the top TWENTY richest of them... so go for it.  Sure, it's just pennies on the dollar, but hey, that's inflation.
