Wyoming state representatives have voted to create a doomsday government task force in the event the state must self sufficienty operate during a national economic or political collapse.
Passing on its first reading, House Bill 85 would permit legislation on issues like alternative currencies, food distribution, and possible state military drafts.

When there's a nuclear annihilation, the new government of the western US will be in Cheyenne.
Obviously, this is a state that knows how to prepare for the apocalypse.

'I think we're in the process of inflating a dollar bubble that could be very devastating,' said North Carolina Representative Glen Bradley, R-Youngsville, early last year during his own legislative proposal according to the News Observer.
In addition to North Carolina, lawmakers in Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Utah and Washington have also proposed legislation in accepting currency of silver and or gold."

So there is a movement to return the US to the gold standard 41 years after Nixon took us off it. Good idea? We've had nothing but deficits since then.

As far as the gold standard, however, the left will fight it tooth and nail. After all, it would mean the end of the nanny state because they would then be forced to actually pay for it.
Game, set, match.

Originally posted by whodeyYa there are a lot of kooks in the state legislatures. I remember the uproar in preparation for y2k in 2000. As for a suggestion to return to the gold standard, the vast majority of seasoned economists across the political spectrum (not just the left) view such a suggestion as stupid.
