if gold and silver had worked, we'd, as a group of voters, chosen to stay with it. but, we didn't.
When did anybody vote to go off the gold standard?
What was it's failure?
ok, if it was so good, why didn't we vote to re-instate it?
it's failure? the political system, as elected by the voters, made the decision to abandon it, with all it's good looks and warts combined as a unit.
Bristoe, everything we have done, we have done with the support of a democratic voting system. is the voting system wrong, or has the gold & silver std really failed, causing the system to move forward to the next best alternative?
btw, i don't know the answer to the question. but, it sure sounds like a lot of folks want to return to slavery in Egypt, rather than being free to prosper or starve on their own devises and merits?
