Can we AFFORD to go back on the Gold Standard? We’re BROKE! There’s no gold in Fort Knox, so we would be starting from scratch......and to back every dollar of the currency at today’s gold prices? I don’t think any of us will live that long.
I know of a steeplejack crew who last fall painted some broadcast towers pretty close to Fort Knox.....and all the while they were there, according to them, black helicopters slowly hovered, circling the perimeter of the Vault area.
I personally think it’s a huge joke. LBJ cleaned out Fort Knox at the same time he and his cohorts stole the Social Security Trust money to pi$$ away on The War on Poverty. Which reminds me; the democRATS were such sticklers for GWB to present an EXIT STRATEGY for Iraq. What’s THEIR exit strategy for the war on poverty boondoggle?
