Still, he can always be correct on a few issues.

1. Visit http://www.mises.org and research the Archives…below is a sample article –
http://mises.org/daily/5197/The-Moral-Issues-of-Money

2. Find the series: THE ASCENT OF MONEY on dvd and pay special attention to John Law and the Bank of France.

Today, it is prime time for “BEN BERNANKE AND THE FEDERAL RESERVE”.

However, we do need a standard gold, platinum, tinfoil, something stable. If one looks at American debt before we went off the gold standard and the way it has skyrocketed since,it’s a no brainer. I don’t have the slightest idea of how we can get the present idiotically correct Congress to agree to start making the change.
