Such confidence is awe-inspiring.

A Montana state lawmaker is asking that he be paid in gold coins because of his lack of faith in the U.S. dollar amid a rising deficit.

I wish I could request the same...but it takes two months' worth of my paychecks to equal the worth of one ounce of gold.  And I'm required to use direct deposit.  Which means...they're paying me in electrons, not money.
