Message:: [QUOTE="C Jay, post: 1367358, member: 13184"]One should never ignore history. Have you looked to see what life was like under the gold standard in the late 1800's. Gold may have been the standard, but the average working person never saw any. Maybe he had a silver dollar or two, but he worked for script and credit at the company store. Fortunately, most of the population lived on farms and could grow most of their food. Often trade with the general store for manufactured goods involved some form of barter. Why? Because most of the gold was tied up in business to business transactions. You could always count on a stock market crash in October because it would require the nations wealth just to bring in the harvest.  As far as Jackson goes, I live in his home town, been to his house, checked out his slave quarters. I don't much like the man. He violated the Supreme Court ruling declaring the Indian Act unconstitutional and hearded a bunch of United States citizens out west like cattle. I will give him Tom Cruse points though for looking good on the twenty dollar bill.  As far as the banksters go, I will leave you this quote from Napoleon; "Never assume malice when incompetence adequately explains the situation."  What we are experiencing today is not so much a case of criminality, but a case of gross incompetence.  I would fire the lot of them.[/QUOTE]
