you don't really think we just print money onto paper anytime we need it and things are just dandy do you?? the gold that this country has in our gold reserves is the gold that represents the value of our american dollar..

USD is not backed by Gold at All Anymore. The only thing that Backs USD is How Much is in Circulation.

Another Reason We Went after Sadam He was going to Swich From USD to the Euro To Sale Oil. Big No No for people Like P4B (THE BIG DAWG) Rofl.
