“The fact is that there is not enough gold in the world to pay off the US National Debt, much less to back future currency. “

Yes, the gold standard is a truly stupid idea that shouldn’t be an issue for informed conservatives. There are better solutions to our currency problems.

Porter Stansberry wrote about the gold standard in a very straight forward way and explained how the Fed could never have printed all the money it has and how it would have kept men wanting to float a huge loan from getting it without serious collateral. Sorry I am not good at presenting it, but it made a lot of sense.

The Gold system and ending the Fed are the only long range solutions to the currency problem.
