FIVE MYTHS ABOUT THE GOLD STANDARD (Part I) - Ron Paul & Cong. Larry McDonald

Americans are for the most part ignorant of the gold 'standard' envisioned by Ron Paul. Before the 'unenlightened ones' lend an ear to the quacks and frauds that'll twist and spin what Ron Paul proposes, best you read this 1981 congressional tract of his from 1981.

Dr. Paul has tried repeatedly for Congress to undertake a physical audit of our Treasury's supposed 8,000 tons of gold. As has been proven this too, is too much to ask of our enemies in government and banking.
