Discussing whether it is time to get back to gold standard , with Jared Bernstein, CNBC contributor; and John Tamny, Real Clear Markets. "It was a monumental blunder, the biggest of modern times. leaving gold was a devaluation of the dollar and as history shows when money is devalued, investment becomes defensive. it flows into the hard assets of yesterday that already exist and away from the innovative ideas of tomorrow in assets that don't exist, leaving gold restrained, our economic evolution and it shows up in the numbers that you just cited. we've grown less quickly, unemployment's been higher. it's been a major disaster and it's time to turn back " says John Tamny

Peter Schiff : Gold is worth its intrinsic value it has unique and special properties that other metals do not have , you comparing Gold to paper , what is the federal reserve note worth what a piece of paper that is printed by the US government what is that worth ?!?!? I mean you cannot use it for anything it is just paper but it already has been written on , I mean it is not soft enough to use as toilet tissue , what you gonna do with it ?!?!?!" Peter Schiff of Euro Pacific Capital believes that the Gold standard could happen even sooner than a five years from now , and the reason for that is we have a dollar crisis we have a currency crisis that brings on an even worse financial crisis and I think that currency crisis is coming soon it is going to send the dollar plunging consumer prices and interest rates surging and we gonna be in a much deeper recession and the only way to have a real economy a sound economy is to discipline the government to prevent them from deficit spending and the only way to do that is with the Gold Standard says Peter Schiff

A great interview on CSPAN about the return to a gold standard. The interview also touches on Ron Paul and SDR's.Ralph Benko talked about the gold standard and the push by some conservatives to return to it. South Carolina is the latest state to propose a bill that would make gold and silver coins a form of legal tender in the state. Utah was the first state and more than a dozen other states are considering similar moves. He also responded to telephone calls and electronic communications.
After other countries abandoned the gold standard in the early days of the Great Depression, the Hoover administration stayed on in, even though doing so may U.S. goods less competitive. Franklin Roosevelt effectively abandoned the gold standard in 1933. He returned to a modified version of it the following year but with the price of gold raised to $35 per ounce. After WW2, the Roosevelt $35 price became enshrined in the Bretton Woods international monetary system until President Nixon ended that system in 1971.
Lewis Lehrman Former Reagan Monetary Policy Advisor explains why no matter how many billions of dollars Congress cuts from the federal budget, we won't fix our deficit until we return to the gold standard.inflation is a direct continuation of what's fundamental under a fiat currency model establishment where monies are printed with no backing.
Paper money is not just a mere userfriendly substitute for gold, like it is portrait to be and teached in schools; this is a dirty lie. Paper money is a means for power institutions (states, banks,..) to steal your valuables or fruit of your labor by imposing a fantasy trade item of wich the value they manipulate as they wish. They can do this because violence is inherent in this system and all of humanity is oppressed by these institutions. Yes the world has changed; now we all are slaves

The gold standard is what kept politicians in line, and kept out dollar strong. Arbitrarily printing money is weakening it - $4.7 trillion to $8.2 from 2001-2008 says everything. a dollar as good as gold could solve a lot of our trouble , the dollar's been devalued on purpose to prop up our real asset prices and stimulate exports and foreign investment in the US. It's all about increasing liquidity when there's a danger of liquidity drying up.Like any tangible commodity, the value of gold is arbitrary and susceptible to manipulation by the market. Altering the fraction in such a way would cause the value of Gold to rise exponentially at first, as I pointed out in a previous post, and then crash upon its value becoming inflated, resulting in an economic collapse. No, if such a transition would occur, it could be a gradual process only after the economy hits rock bottom and U.S. Treasuries begin to move into gold and other tangibles.
Gold was chosen, once upon a time, for its properties. Diamonds are not so practical as gold in that you can break up into any number of denominations without changing its mass/volume ratio. Can't do that with diamonds or Rubys. Silver has been used; in fact you could use it as another denomination as nickel and copper have been. Ever heard of nickels dimes and pennys?
You also have to remember that we had the gold standard in 1929 and the first four years of a depression. Nixon was forced to give it up because other countries would exchange their dollars for USD and buy gold. Result was gold was cheap to them. Therefore, the country was being depleted of gold. We have to be careful on what we do. But definitely END THE FED. Remember it is not the stock market that causes a depression. Rather it is the contraction of the money supplyortheammountof *principal.

Utah took its first step Friday toward bringing back the gold standard when the state House passed a bill that would recognize gold and silver coins issued by the federal government as legal currency.
The House voted 47-26 in favor of the legislation that would also exempt the sale of gold from the state capital gains tax and calls for a committee to study alternative currencies for the state.
The legislation now heads to the state Senate, where a vote is expected next week.
Under the bill, the coins would not replace the current paper currency but would be used and accepted voluntarily as an alternative.
CASH IS TRASH!
