Forget about returning to a gold standard. You have to own gold to back your currency, which we do not have.
you mean except for the 8390 tonnes in Ft Knox???????????????????
The Federal Reserve has most of the worlds gold so if you hear politicians like Ron Paul (which I like) talk about the gold standard set them strait.
so we don't have it but the Fed does??????????????????????????????
Remember the golden rule ....he who has the gold makes the rules.
would you like to rethink that????
Nope .... There is no gold in Fort Knox. Only some coin melt. And the Federal Reserve is not owned by the government. It's own by private bankers...some foreign.
