simply a fixed standard with a beginning and an end..rather than printing presses might help prevent excesses ie just Japan's announcing that they want to keep their interest rates down so they will buy back the necessary bonds with what? or that they will create a huge amount of jobs and pay them what? there is no longer any necessity for governments to be "living within their means" since they give the financial firms the go ahead to follow their manipulations and then be rescued when they are too big too fail and as a result leave a path of devastation around the world and then have people like you blame the "corrupt" foreign governments for bringing it on themselves.. let me see if you surprise me.. a fixed basket won't prevent the governments getting away with this ..but it might cause some governments on the other side of the trade not to feel that there is only one game in town..it might prevent them from being blackmailed into playing the games of the superfinancial types..who give great donations to the people who want to stay elected.. I do hope you surprise me..but evidence is definitely not in that favor
