I wonder if the Govt had just cancelled all taxes for a year?

And meanwhile, the Treasury department is telling people who want an independent audit ( none since the 1950s) of the US gold reserves that there hasn't been any "meddling" with the gold in Fort Knox- you know, secret, undisclosed, unauthorised sales to keep the price down, things like that, that they haven't told anyone about- " since 1999"; 9:20 PM, April 01, 2009
