An Argument For Real Money

[Walt Holton]

Well I finally did it. Today I testified before a State Senate committee on a bill that would allow the state to coin a silver currency. I prepared a testimony that took just about five minutes to present, however due to time restrictions they asked everyone to be brief; in turn out of respect for their time I did no...t present my statement and summed up my sentiments in a very unimpressive few sentences since, I assumed such a bill would be a no-brainer in a republican state such as Idaho. I was wrong, my points were never made, and a good bill died. Whether my full perspective would have made a difference I will never know; doubtful since I got the impression since the bill did not add revenue to the state (only jobs). I learned a lot today, perhaps next time my approach will be a tad different. My intended testimony can be found here-
