Here's a great line about Run Paul:

"Instead, he’s dedicated himself to fringe causes – such as abolishing the Federal Reserve and returning to the Gold Standard. In the meantime, he’s helped to ensure his own re-election in part by securing pork projects for his own district while maintaining his ideological purity by voting against them on final passage."

...such as abolishing the Federal Reserve and returning to the Gold Standard.

I don't think those are necessarily bad ideas, but you'd need some plan and time period for transition from the Federal Reserve fiat currency back to the gold-backed one.
