Putting the US economy back on the gold standard will solve all the problems

Just ask Ron Paul

We should because our politicians are addicted to spending money that we don't have. But there is no way in heck we will be able to pay down our national debts if we went back to the dollar standard again.

Did Ron Paul have a solution?

Sure, while the economy contracts like a prune to a raisin, everybody standard of living plummets like a 747 with no fuel to turd world status, the fat cats in DC will still take care of themselves.

I have a much better idea. VOTE their ass out
