re: #130 lawhawk

We support the return to the time tested precious metal standard for the U.S. dollar.

Translation: We want to reduce the US GDP by more than 60% at the expense of the poor and middle class. This is required to fulfill our unrealistic and wildly outdated Gold-standard fetish because current monetary policy is beyond our ability to work out on our fingers and toes and we’ll be damned if we are gonna read a book or two about that shit. We also want doom the country to deflationary spirals, multi-decade long depressions, and eventual bankruptcy because the trade imbalance will no longer be offset by currency trading.
