re: #558 Charles
You’re right about that. It’s the mainstreaming of Ron Paul.
Anyone who believes switching back to the gold standard is a good idea is ignorant of American history. One of the causes of the Great Depression was the fact that the gold standard was simply not a viable base for an economy the size of America’s — and our economy now is larger by an order of magnitude. There isn’t enough gold in the world to back up the US dollar.
Your right there is not enough gold in the world to back the dollar so what is the the cause of this depression?
