An example of monetary stimulus

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Utah legislators want to see the dollar regain its former glory, back to the days when one could literally bank on it being "as good as gold."

To make that point, they've turned it around, and made gold as good as cash. Utah became the first state in the country this month to legalize gold and silver coins as currency. The law also will exempt the sale of the coins from state capital gains taxes. AP

By stabilizing taxes in terms of precious metals, the Utah Legislature gets its own regional bank.  I am waiting for Scott Sumners to celebrate.
