re: #117 Killian Bundy

Really, and how much is an ounce of gold worth? Would my dollar be worth 1/9ooth of an ounce, 1/1000th of an ounce, 1/10,000th of an ounce?

It’s a moot point anyway, because it’s never going to happen.

/you’re the one not thinking it through, what do you think would happen to the U.S. and world economy if Obama announced tomorrow that we were going back to the gold standard?

With your question about the ounces yes, that is exactly how it could be done. And if Obama said tomorrow we’re on a gold standard, it would take less than one week for the market to correct itself.
