Who are the better financial planners?

3300 years ago Moses instructed our fathers. He said, “Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small. Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a great and a small. [But] thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure shalt thou have ”.

Well our founding fathers at the constitutional convention in 1787 followed this scriptural principal of law. When they put into our constitution in article 1 section 10 these 17 words: “ no state should make anything but gold and silver coin a tender for payments of debts” but in 1933 President Roosevelt took our gold away and in 1964 President Johnson took silver coin out of circulation. In place of these just weights and balances these two presidents introduced our current practice of 1^st 2^nd and the 5^th planks of the communist manifesto into our monetary system. And they gave us federal reserve notes in place of gold backed treasury bills and clad coinage in place of silver coins. Now in the intervening 70 years or so we Americans have gone from the worlds number one creditor nation, until today we are the worlds number one debtor nation. Now who do you think were the better financial planners for our nation, Moses and our founding fathers or Franklin D. Roosevelt and Lindon Banes Johnson?
