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.

I would agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

I mean I can give you the charts that show the split happens right around the time Nixon ends the gold Standard in 1971.

Yes, that Nixon.
