We're not on the gold standard any more. FDR relieved us of that.


Speak for yourself ... $20 of gold (an OZ.) still buys what it used to

buy an OZ. of my gold ... but, I ain't sellin' it, yet ... wait until I
can't trade the worthless fiat money for food, medicine, ammo, shelter,
etc. ... we can probably strike a deal, then ...

In really bad times FOOD is the only commodity - happens all the
