"The Mindset of most Americans Are so stupid and they all need to wake up"~tim6575~So we should go back to a trade and barter system and eliminate all currency?

So the society with the most gold will by your assertion, have the highest standard of living for all it's individuals?

To jizzmonger:Gold has intrinsic industrial value.Also, its rarity, divisibility, and corrosion resistance make it ideal for use as money.A funny thing about your dumb comment is that space exploration incorporates gold all over the place.

People there are horrible things on the horizon, if you care about yourself or your family you need guns, food and water. The government won't be there.

well. I kind of agree with you. thanks for explaing your point. I'm struggling to understand how you and I can pay off an approximate debt of $35,000 debt when thats assuming children at the age of 1day old can contribute. and senior citizens at 80 can. working class and age are forced to split this bill. and I'm sorry with that 35k is attached an interest similar to that of a credit card. I cant pay my bills as it is and with major job loss thats putting more stress on the system thus its fail.

caused the dollar to not equal its own fixed exchange value in gold. That is why the gold standard cannot work in a non-mercantilist economies, like the economies of most countries. Debt is not a bad thing unless you cannot pay it back. The U.S. has never defaulted on its debt, and probably never will, even with the current financial crises. Also, Congress did not change the Constitution, they simply added to government though the Federal Reserve Act.

The money that exists in today's economy is backed by the idea of comparitive advantage. Once you understand how that works in a world with international trade and floating exchange rates, you will understand where the purchasing power of a dollar comes from. The reason we left the gold standard was because inflation (something that is good if happening moderately over time, as it did in the time of the gold standard)
