I just read a few tweets from the guy, he is a complete idiot. A few tweets below, criticizes the gold standard so stupidly such that all his argument does is it shows he is a moron. This guy graduated from Princeton. If you ever thought it deserved any prestige, read his tweeter to quickly disabuse yourself.
Thinking we will return to the gold standard is stupid. Check out all those goldline scams on Glenn Beck.
