Money, issued in such a way, would derive its value in exchange from the fact that it had come from the highest legal source in the nation and would be declared to be legal to pay all public and private debts.

Issued by a sovereign nation, not in danger of collapse, it would need no gold or silver or other so-called “precious” metals to back it. As history shows, the stability and responsibility of the government issuing it is the deciding factor in the acceptance of that government's currency -- not gold, silver, or iron buried in some hole in the ground. Proof is America's currency today. Our gold and silver are practically gone, but our currency is accepted.

But if the government was about to collapse, our currency would be worthless. Also, money issued through the people's legitimate government would not be under the control of a privately owned corporation whose individual owners benefit by causing the money amount and value to fluctuate and the people to go into debt.

Under the present debt-usury system, the extra burden of usury forces workers and businesses to demand more money for the work and goods to pay their ever-increasing debts and taxes. This increase in prices and wages is called “inflation.” Bankers, politicians and “economists” blame it on everything but the real cause, which is the usury levied on money and debt by the Bankers. This “inflation” benefits the money-lenders, since it wipes out savings of one generation so they cannot finance or help the next generation, who must then borrow from the money-lenders, and pay a large part of their life's labor to the usurer.

With an adequate supply of interest-free money, little borrowing would be required and prices would be established by people and goods, not by debts and usury.
