ronpaulisanidiot's Journal: ron paul's economic fantasies

ron paul and his cult like to talk about their economic fantasyland a lot. any sensible observer knows that at least 90% of what they claim to want can be found all together in only one country on earth currently - somalia. basically everything they want, except for one thing.

the "gold standard".

and frankly, i'm not sure if there is a country of any economic importance today that has their currency pegged to gold or any other precious metal. leaving the real question to be what the cult has to gain by pursuing this economic strawman.
