Explain how going back to the gold standard would be bad for the middle class.  I don't know if you've notice but our money is worthless and losing value by the second.



Our money is more valuable than just about any other currency except the pound and the Euro.  If you think your money is so worthless, I'll be glad to take it off your hands.

As for the gold standard, if you knew a little history or a little economics, you might understand.  In 1896, William Jennings Bryan led a presidential campaign specifically against the gold standard, which kept farmers and workers in debt, underpaid, and unemployed as a result of a tight money supply.  This was the inspiration for his famous "Cross of Gold" speech.  Under the gold standard, we had recessions every 2-3 years.  Under such tight money supply, employment is scarce, debt burdens are increased, and the value of people's assets are destroyed.

Propaganda imo, where is the proof that a currency backed by commodity equates to a "recessions every 2-3 years"?
