No ... it did not work great.

Would. I said would, and if. Neither of those things are true, so what actually happened isn't what I'm talking about, is it?

Reading comprehension, man.

WE had a central BANK when THE GOLD STANDARD WAS STILL IN EFFECT. WE DROPPED IT. BECAUSE WE WERE GOING BUST.

IMBECILE.

We have never had a Central Bank alone. We have always had a Central "Bank + Mint" controlled by the same people, which is the entire problem, and my entire point.

It immediately turned us all into debt slaves, in 1913. According to plan.

Minus the fact that our government would be able to control the money usury-free and the Fed reserve wouldn’t be able to cause inflation at-will without being able to be FULLY audited. The federal reserve is a damn cancer and it is the 5th plank of the communist manifesto. Total subversion of the US constitution

Funny ... because they did ... isn't that why the gold standard was dropped ? Because the US was running out of GOLD.

It might be . But taking it away will solve nothing . Because the problem ARE THE RETARDS. You can be the biggest capitalist in the universe , when you face the prospect of MILLIONS of retards being jobless . YOU PRINT MONEY .

I hope to live to see the person in charge , either of the government , or the fed that says ... CAPITALISM boys ... figure it out.

Being a slave to gold is a personal choice. The arrangement made in 1913 was not. It benefited a very few.

Gold benefited even fewer. Those that had it ! Everyone else was fucked. BTW. Today you can make that choice. Back and forth as you wish. If you really think gold has any value. I personally think it's extremely stupid as a financial/monetary vehicle .
