Ron, its so simple why a paper money should have a gold backing. You Ron are a very good example for one to make the case for a gold standard. As I said in my prior post, if you obtained control in the degree of absolute and total, then this gold standard for paper money would limit your ability to hide behind a failed economic policy. We all saw how Russia started printing more and more paper money to "help" the country, and to use USA apples to oranges, one hundred dollars eventually was needed to buy a 5 cents candy. Remember, their money ruble(?) note of size 1 became worthless unless you had enough to fill a large basket full of it. So again Ron, your type calls for a gold standard to PROTECT the others from you being in control like a high government official or advisor. << YET to see one gold enthusiast offer up a logical case for gold, Anyone out here who can make a convincing argument that gold is not, in fact, subsidized by the CBs and global taxpayers is welcome to have at it, and to let the anonymous readers of this thread decide who's arguments have more merit.>> Already answered in Ayn Rands work and related followers, which you have already stated as being garbage since it doesn't agree with you. So simple you expose yourself Ron, for all to see. Doug
