Yes, but how did we get here? You want to blame the lack of a gold standard, but the debt was falling until Reagan cut taxes. Since then, the US debt has increased $27 trillion. Republicans did this to us, not gold. They refuse to raise taxes and they always cut them.

Blaming gold gets them off the hook.
