Peter Schiff : The Gold Standard forced the government to responsibly confront irresponsible fiscal policy

Peter Schiff : "The gold standard forced the government to responsibly confront irresponsible fiscal policy. At first Nixon tried devaluation, but the amounts were far too small to stop the gold drain. As an escape hatch, he instead abandoned the gold standard (although he said that the move was temporary). Without this “relic”, government could continue to finance its spending with ever larger deficits without losing any more gold. So instead of devaluation or deflation, we chose inflation instead. Many consider the impossibility of running perpetual deficits under the gold standard as proof of its unsuitability to the modern economy. As I see it, this is precisely why the gold standard is so desirable and so badly needed today."

The Republicans Consider Returning To The Gold Standard

There IS going to be a return to the gold standard, but it wont be the republicans or any other political influence bringing it to fruition. The Bank for International Settlements, The central bank for central banks, Has issued policy called the Basel Accords. Basel 1 and 2 have already been implemented, which is where the “700 billion” dollar bailout came from. This was the amount needed to capitalize the banks that would continue to function under the terms of Basel 2. Now they are beginning Basel 3, Which will require more “bailouts” to further re-capitalize the fraudulent banks in anticipation for the consolidation (crash). Basel 3 will require a world currency backed by gold. The world is on to the games (derivatives) wall st plays. The gold standard will return and THIS will be the “new” global currency.

Mary Jo Jacobi fmr special assistant to Ronald Reagan, told CNBC, a lot of the party (Republican) faithful believe we should go back on the gold standard; it would control government spending and offer a sense of stability.

James Turk on The Gold Standard

Gold is a good inflation hedge, just don't get into the futures game unless you wanna get hammered when the banksters manipulate the market. James Turk Director of the GoldMoney Foundation argues that the gold standard has been proven to be a working monetary system with automatic leveling functions. As a result of the coming structural changes to our monetary system, both men recommend owning tangible assets. They point out, that those who act first have a great advantage.He also speaks about currency devaluation and the rising gold price. How the gold price is rising against all major currencies and monetary policy is political, having abandoned all pretense of seeking monetary stability. He warns of the dangers of a hyperinflationary crisis. James also explains why gold should be considered money and not an investment.James Turk mentions that today, commercial banks as well as central banks are leveraged at unsustainable levels. While both agree that it makes sense to get back to less risky traditional banking and a sound money system, He raises the question of how it will be possible to bring the leverage down to prudent levels again and how to get rid of the huge amount of complex derivatives. He also talks of the coming dollar collapse and the waterfall decline in the dollar, especially since Ben Bernanke's words on QE
