The gold standard has returned to mainstream US politics for the first time in 30 years, with a “gold commission” set to become part of official Republican party policy.
Drafts of the party platform, which it will adopt at a convention in Tampa Bay, Florida, next week, call for an audit of Federal Reserve monetary policy and a commission to look at restoring the link between the dollar and gold.
I think that it is a start. But the pressure needs to be kept on to reduce spending, or it won't matter.
It is a bit discouraging to see so much cynicism from people out there. If things are so hopeless, why not just crawl into a corner and start sucking your thumb?
It is rather pointless to even try if you are just going to give up like this.
