well sure anyone can invest right now in gold if they fear inflation. There's e-gold. There are gold etf's.

But nobody is going to spend their valuable gold unless gold money is all there is. And that may ironically require govt enforcement. So that is the big problem I'd like to understand.

I just don't see why issuing $20 billion - $40 billion in gold/silver currency can be a bad thing. After we issued it, we could see if it was a good idea to proceed.

Personally, I'm not supporting RP for the currency issue or the Federal Reserve issue. He has a much broader agenda for liberty and small-government. And I think we're going to see Iraq and Afghanistan winding down by election time, one way or the other. Either the surge works or not. We will start to pull back regardless by next spring.
