Madharry, i didn't say that gold and silver wouldn't have prevented the problems we see today.

they would create different problems - but the nature of the problems would be the same. the wealthy criminals at the top would use gold to systematically asset strip society.

they did this when we had a gold standard. they will do it again.

The Fallacy of Gold Backed Money

economicedge.blogspot.com

the point is that we need to extricate ourselves from the criminals at the top.

it isn't what backs the money (just ask those busted in the myriad of depressions under various gold standards), it is WHO controls its quantity.

are you suggesting a gold standard where the criminals at the top own almost all the gold coupled with ZERO credit?

after all, if you start issuing insane CREDIT you will blow up - even with a gold standard.

The main point is the criminals who control the system have to go or the system will continue to be used as a weapon against the people.
