The the-non-representational-devalued-piece-of-over-printed-paper stops here

I'd like to turn this into a t-shirt. Inspired by a quick trip down to Auburn for a talk about state nullification of federal trespasses. The Latin phrase is taken from the Aenied and means "Do not give into evil but proceed ever more boldly against it." It was the lifelong motto of Ludwig von Mises, the central figure of Austrian economics. I believe that the idea of nullification embodies Mises' motto in a very real way. The evil, corrupt, and unending flow of unconstitutional laws and actions perpetrated by the federal government must be stopped, and the states' power of nullification is the last recourse. Indeed, the buck (or, in context, "the devalued piece of over-printed paper") stops with nullification.
