I have maybe made a mistake is my assessment of your avatar, because for that to be the case, you'd have to be at least somewhat rational, but I think youre frankly schizophrenic, and no that's not an amateur opinion and not intended as an uninformed or insulting remark, you clearly make no sense and are unable to communicate. I really do care.
Seek help before you hurt yourself or others or start taking your medications again, please. Maybe, it'd be better for some there be an infinite source of haldol or cogentin then fiat currency.

they decided to print money because the gold coins were losing their weight. Since its a soft metal, shocking coins together, gold was losing its worth so they printed money with mention "one dollar worth of gold " on the bills.
But after the great depression of 1929 this mention dissapeared from the money bills... its just paper. And you know.. it kinda became a parallel economy (i cant prove that...its just a gut feeling )
Anyway, money is only valuable if backed by something.
If it isn't, then in reality it is just paper and metal, and only worth the paper or metal. It would have no value really. I guess we could continue to function if we pretend it has value. That might work in limited circumstances.
If all the citizens of the United States continued to function as if their money had value, I guess it would work, because we would give it value in our own minds.

The United States is a country.
Therefore, the United States is with a constitution to obey.
If the country's use letters for a word then the country's locate their country name with a label.
The country's don't use letters for a word.
The country's cant locate their country name with a label.
If you don't know the country name then you'll never know where it's location is.

Is it possible that politicians are taking advantage of the money system?
It's possible to overthrow a government and change the currency.
