And as far as the gold standard is concerned, it sure would be great to get away from run away inflation.. i mean look at this inflation chart and compare inflation when we had a gold standard to now. It surely must not be possible for gold-backed currency to have inflation!
OH WAIT.. What could this be?? Inflation was worse on the gold standard?? Well gee, it sure is amazing what you can find when you look at actual historical data and examples instead of just reading bullshit political blogs all day. Inflation has actually been amazingly low and stable in the last 20 yrs.

In a Corporatist State such as the USA any President who tried to kill the federal reserve would be assassinated by agents of the people who have the real power and de facto run the country, namely the bankers.
