    Fractional Reserve Banking is not Evil!

    Fractional reserve banking is fine as long as the banks assume the risk and go bankrupt when the inevitable run on the bank happens. The problem is when government starts bailing out the banks with taxpayer money, which is what central banks do. It is the concept of a government backed central...

    Hyperinflation in Zimbabwe

    Imagine a 100% gold standard with stable consumer prices. Introduce some fiat currency and it will drive prices up due to inflation. That is where we are at now... prices are extraordinarily high in terms of gold. Gold is cheap. Now imagine the fiat currency starts collapsing in value due to...

    Hyperinflation in Zimbabwe

    By "deflate in terms of gold" I mean prices of consumer items will go down in relation to gold. A car that costs 30oz of gold now later costs 20oz of gold. Think of everything in terms of gold and it becomes much clearer what is going on.

    Hyperinflation in Zimbabwe

    The whole inflation verses deflation debate in regards to the US economy is silly. It is so simple. We are going to have both: Inflation in terms of dollars and deflation in terms of gold. This "correction" has been going on for years already, and will continue until the government...

    So say we go back to a precious metal standard...

    Gold is mined at about the same rate as the population grows. I don't know if that is a coincidence or an effect of supply and demand, but it keeps gold value pretty consistent over time. Total existing gold averages out to about 3/4 ounce per person worldwide. So when fiat money is gone if...

    Silver dimes are worth around a dollar now. Just use that as the currency... $100 = 100 dimes. There's your new silver dollar. You can buy them by the bag from places like Apmex. Well, I guess you get a bunch of quarters and halves in there too, but they would work good as $2.50 pieces and $5...

    401k debit cards

    With the poor investment choices available in many 401(k) plans and the requirement to quit your job in order to get the money out, borrowing the money and buying some gold just might end up being the best way to preserve your retirement funds. I've considered doing exactly that myself. In the...

    Post your Consitutional Amendment ideas here

    How's this one... Congress shall pass no law which regulates commerce within a state. That should wipe the majority of the bad federal laws off the books, since they seem to be based off loose interpretation of the commerce clause. This includes drug laws, legal tender laws, the Fed, gun...
