    Apparently the whole planet read that material. There are probably more truthers than there are golders. Not that I like using argument ad populum, but in this case it is overwhelming.

    Hello

    This does not constitute an explanation...... Surely one of you 2 guys has a reason as to why pritinng dollars, and inflatincg prices is a good thing, please tell me why the gold standard is such a horrible thing..... I just lobbed you a softball......

    I asked you a related question much earlier. Why do you think we wouldn't just print gold certificates, instead of printing dollars?

    Surely they could.... but at that point its FRAUD as opposed to business as usual at the fed.

    Fair enough. But at least you understand the "tissue paper" side of my metaphor (which you did already no doubt).

    I didn't realize until now I had so much in common with Ron Paul.

    Busy, and I see other than your graciously provided link no one is able or willing to give a simple concise answer to my question. That alone gives me doubts that the gold standard would be a "problem" for anyone, other than big central government tax and spend socialists of course.
