Sigh. A gold standard enforced by the government would be even worse than what we have now, and advocating for it is a complete dead end. Competition in currencies is the way to go, and is what Ron Paul has always advocated.

that's what I say in my videos, although I make the point if you believe that governments should have amonopoly on money (which I don't, cause I don't think there should be a government at all) that Gold standard establishes a little discipline of governance, although the real fundamental issue is monopoly and lack of the ability to have a diverse portfolio of legal tender which is important cause diversification always limits risk.
