I am sure all of you have seen the pics of Germans burning money by the piles just to heat their homes, or pushing wheel barrels of money to buy a loaf of bread. This is fact, and I repeat fact!

But that's the one issue I don't agree with Ron Paul. We should not revert back to the archaic gold standard. It'll do more damage than good in the long run.
