If we don’t understand where we came from, how can we see where we’re headed? In Episode 2 of our Dirty U.S. History series, we talk about how the US dollar became the world’s currency, how inflation robs us all, and what the founding fathers intended when they wrote the constitution…. and how are we failing at following it today.

Most of the problems in society stem from government distorting the original intentions of the constitution by politicians who have their own agendas. Should government have the power to close a business or tell people not to go out supposedly in the interest of the greater good? Whatever happened to personal choice and responsibility for oneself? The consequences of this global shutdown are likely to span into decades from now, and the fallout on a social, economic and psychological level is already dire.
