Do realize we were on a Gold standard back then. We owned 20,000 something tons of Gold then……then came 1972, where France started redeeming their USD’s for zGold, draining us to our current publicized 8,100 tons….

….still waiting for Trump’s full audit of our Gold reserves…..hopefully not a failed promise….big, big money is waiting for a full audit….he stands to lose much support if he doesn’t.
