Talk politics.

None of those explanations are logical, hence my use of conclusively. Like it or not, natural language is logical. Until someone shows which steps are from "coin money" to "declare anything legal tender", which doesn't include the necessary and proper clause, because declaring paper money legal tender is NOT necessary and proper for carrying out the power to coin money, OR emit bills of credit, which are IOUs for specie borrowed on the good faith of future tax revenue, y'all are being illogical. Get off the slippery slope.
