Ron Paul wants to reintroduce the gold standard…make our dollar too strong?

Would Ron Pauls idea of backing the dollar with gold make our dollar too strong? I mean ALL Americans want a strong/stable dollar for sure, BUT, what are the short/long term effects of such a policy? I’m sure the short term effect would be a “tad” bumpy as the financial/comsumer end of the economy adjusted to the new found buying power of a gold backed dollar. Coupled with the termination of the IRS/Federal Reserve & reduction in federal bureauocracies the dollar’s value would likly shoot to the moon! I’m sure the “bumpy” ride at first would soon smooth out, BUT, what about the long haul??? Would the dollar get to be so strong that other goods producing nations could not afford to trade with us? If that be the case would America have to go back in to a manufacturing/production economy instead of our current service oriented economy? So many variables here that it’s boggling my mind. Any body got some input into this topic, ESPECIALLY regarding the long haul effect on our economy???

People have a misconception about the gold standard and the relationship between gold and the federal reserve. So, lets see if we can put this into perspective.

First off, we dont have to get rid of the federal reserve to be on the gold standard or silver standard. We went for fifty some odd year on these standards while te federal reserve exosted. This went on until Nixon took us completely off the gold standard. The amount of money printed as gold certificates was equivelent to the amount of gold we had in reserve. The same for silver while we were on the silver standard.

The magic of inflation happened once we were removed from the standards. One ounce of gold back in 1900 would get you an entire formal dinner suit for about 20 bucks. That same one ounce will get you that same suit today for about 600 bucks.

Our magician friends in government realized that since our debt was backed by the full faith of th egovernment through taxes…they could produce any amount of money they wanted to print so long as the standard was not in pace. Money itself is nothing more then a medium to enhance the barter system. Its hell for me to trade 100 wheek barrells for a ton a bricks but its easy to carry paper money that is acceptable to both parties….and there lies the governments trick…they control the money and its flow.

Now, that we have a very rudimentary understanding lets revisit the question. Re-introducing the gold standard and what woudl it do. There is only a certain amount of gold held by the US government. If we went back to the gold standard that would mean that we could only produce enough certificates to cover the amount of gold we have – by default – that would make ALL the rest of the money currently existing, worthless.

This will cause a massive depression in this country the likes of which we havent seen since the 30’s. All stocks will plummet over night and everyone who has a paper fotune will end up a pauper. Those of us who have debt, ie credit card bills, mortgages etc…we will all be scrambling to get things paid off right away before the banks foreclose on the property. All the countries that map their money to our dollar will also have an instantaneous depression.

Those who have gold and silver in reserve will be safe. Those who have no debt will be safe….they will become the next group of the rich in the US and around the globe, as they will be the ones to buy up property etc cheaply before the banks can do anything about it. It is these people, the ones that outright own their property now that we should be emulating.

The familes that own the federal reserve wont care at that point. They already have their property outright and already fit into this mold. The only reason the scam keeps going is because the government is in bed with these families. As such, they continue to gain in property while the rest of us suffer.

The bleak picture is now laid bare. How do you stop the switch over from hurting you??? The best thing you can do for yourself now is to begin research on an item called land patents. Find out who has the current one on your property and update it in your name. If you dont, I gaurautee you will be lost when this change over happens.

As for long term effects. The market will always work itself if left alone….always, 100 percent of the time. The problem is the government gets involved and minipulates the market which causes problems. Yeah, it might have done what it thought was right to get us out of the first depression…but you see where we are now because of it. If the government stayed out of the situation to begin with, the marketwoudl have corrected itself and we woudl all be much better off for it.

I hope Ron does reintroduce the silver and gold standards. This is what this country needs to tie its hands and stop it from interferring with other countries around thw world. Once this is done and the market corrects itself…we will return to being the greatest country in the world again. We will be producing and manufacturing again instead of being a lame-brained services economy.

How long do people think we will last without producing anything. I hope noone is so stupid as to believe that we can survive without giving soomething back in return. We mus produce, if we dont GDP will will plummet along with the dollar and every nation will ignore us until we become our old selves again.
