<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikem2000, post: 1753737, member: 30574&quot;]As much as the metal bugs would like to go back to the gold standard, I think it really falls under &quot;Be careful what you wish for&quot;. The simple fact is we grew out of the gold standard. Under the gold standard, if the money supply needs to be expanded, you have to wait for it to be dug.&nbsp; This will cause a huge drag on the economy.&nbsp; It makes little sense to have an economy that is busting out at the seems to grow, but it cannot, because it needs to wait for the money.&nbsp; If you are not a fan of inflation, wait until you try deflation, that is a real downer and it is not good for almost everyone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
