Article 1, Section 8, Paragraphs 5-7
To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;
To provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin of the United States;
To establish Post Offices and post Roads;
Monetary Control
Congress is supposed to be directly tied to the people of the United States by means of the Representatives. The interests of the States are represented in the Senate, and Federal interests are represented by the Presidential veto power. The balance of powers is to stop any overstepping of power by private interests. Monetary value thus remains tied to what is best for the consumer.
In order for savings and future planning to be stable and secure, it is in the best interests of citizens that money not be generated, but only damaged money replaced. Monetary value should remain tied to a precious metal standard and unchanged through time, just as weights.
Foreign exchange rates should be set to protect the American consumer and to limit foreign exchange of goods that might damage American free enterprise, by undercutting fair market value.
God set both the weight and the monetary value to the same standard, and made the Temple in charge of the standard. This way it could not be altered to benefit any segment of society.
Exodus 30:13, "This they shall give, every one that passeth among them that are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary: (a shekel is twenty gerahs:) an half shekel shall be the offering of the LORD."
The only proper way to increase the amount of money available in society is to mine or purchase the precious metals and then mint the metal into coins. The use of paper money is a fraud.
