Going over some old notes, I came up with a couple of quotes (which I think some will remember I'm sure)and makes me wonder what Greenspan would have to say about it now.

This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists' tirades against
gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the ‘hidden'
confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious
process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps
this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists' antagonism
toward the gold standard."
Alan Greenspan (1966)

"You have to choose [as a voter] between trusting to the natural
stability of gold and the natural stability and intelligence of the
members of the government. And with due respect to these
gentlemen, I advise you, as long as the capitalist system lasts, to
vote for gold."
George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)
