Entry: The Revolution and the Republican Party Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_future_of_the_revolution#18837 Post contents: WillB sed: "There is an economics of freedom and that means real money in our pockets not the debt instruments that indenture us to greedy bankers." You can blame the end of the "gold standard" on the Chicago School, and Milton Friedman, who got the NObble Prize for "proving" that the Depression was caused by a contraction in the money supply. Frankly, I'd rather go back to Lincoln's "Greenbacks" which was real "fiat money" instead fo fthe Federal REserver Notes, which is---despite the denials of the Ron Paul wing of the Libertarians---the "privatized money" that they claim to support. Ron Paul's message was really about the fallacy of using long term debt to fund short term economic stimulus, and he would have been better off not mentioning the Gold Standard, which is not even supported by the mainstream economic conservatives anymore.
