How long until these schmucks try to push us back onto the gold standard?
I really need you and everyone else to know that the gold Standard was holding down inflation. The massive wealth disparities we see now are because of the US dollar becoming fiat.
The quicker we return to a standard of any kind the quicker things go back to normal.
This is not their intent. They want ownership of property, not gold. Property is the only thing in true demand. And only the wealthy can afford it.
We also had more regular and much bigger recreating during that time. I'll take a little inflation over wrecked economy every few years. Wages can increase to match inflation. Mass unemployment isn't as easy to fix
