Why are US state economies inhibited by the Federal government? It's clearly not profitable to depress the states' economic output through taxation and commerce regulation.

Please do not make a new thread for every question you have.  It would be preferred if you save them up and put them in one thread, or start a thread and keep adding questions to it.

Simple answer, they accept FRNs.

No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.
