In short what has occured in Utah is that the state has chosen to excersise its ability as a State of the U.S.A. to implement Gold and Silver as a legal tender under "Article1, Section 10 of the United States Constitution which provides that no state shall make anything but gold and silver coin a tender for payment of debts."
This means that the State Legislators in Utah observing the outright lunacy at the Federal Government level with money printing just to keep up with Interest on the $14+ Trillion are taking action to pre empt Weimer Germany type situation where wheel barrels of money are required to purchase a loaf of bread. Good for them...
