Please— tell it. Make some more heads go “pop”.

If for no other reason alone, Ron Paul should be shunned by calling for a return to the gold standard. If you want to see Weimar Republic-like inflation right now—then that is the surest way to bring it about.

If you want Weimar style inflation you have to run the printing press. The gold standard locks the quantity of notes in circulation to the amount of gold in the inventory. What you have with the gold standard is the opposite effect from Weimar inflation.
