It's more likely that Bush simply takes offense at the success of Ron Paul. I don't see the practicality of claiming that the 'federal' value of the dollar is being "undermined" except as an excuse to undermine any affiliation with Ron Paul. Other currencies are in use in the United States (people have taken notice of what Bush has done to the economy).
The Bush administrations have given 4 TRILLION to the military while hijacking part of our National Gaurd AND it's equipment for Iraq (CTRL F...TRILLION).
FEMA lies to coverup the Bush administration's long time neglect of the American people (and the Katrina fiasco) because Bush's only concern is the "war" and paying the Blackwater mercenaries (and the approximately 160,00 military contractors...BIG BUSINESS).
