long-gone >Clinton & Gore worked VERY hard to bomb the Price of Gold

Yes, I did hear the argument that, by bombing the gold price, they were perversely hoping to increase the value of the dollar. Also, by keeping POG down they were manipulating the inflation index downwards in the face of rising prices of consumables, property etc.

This is the first time I have heard that the Clintons were personally involved in any speculative position on gold but nothing surprises me. I guess if one hasn't got oilwells and farms etc, like the Bushs', one has to scratch where one can.
