When gold goes through the roof since the govt would have to acquire it to back this new unit of currency how would you prop up the domestic economy? How would you keep a handle on the new unit of currency when the gold market is free to do whatever it wants in the rest of the world? What about payment of our debt that already exists to other countries, there is not enough gold in the world to cover that?
Hold on there partner. I never said I was sure the Fed needed to be abolished. Ron Paul said that. I merely stated how I thought he'd get it done.
