We should get rid of the Fed and begin returning to the gold standard.

While we're at it let's get rid of the IRS and the income tax and get rid of slavery.

No income tax, illegal. No central bank. Period.

Gold is a standard already on the periodic table. If you want to print notes full backed, part backed, one millionth of one percent backed in gold, or silver or Bennie Babies, go right ahead. Over time free people, freely choosing, will value some paper money more than others. As is their choice, and ought not be forced down their throats by others.
