The Gold Standard Now: It Can Work
On March 17 former Reagan Gold Commission member Lewis E. Lehrman, journalist James Grant, and Prof. James Salerno will testify before U.S. Rep. Ron Paul's Subcommittee on Domestic Monetary Policy. This is the most significant monetary policy hearing in at least a generation, probably in 40 years, possibly in our lifetimes.
Today a dollar is worth 80 percent less than it was 40 years ago, and less than 5 percent of its value a hundred years ago. We deserve a dollar that is as good as gold, a dollar that will hold its value from year to year so we can be financially secure and our economy can generate more and better jobs.
For most of America's history, our dollar was literally as good as gold. But on August 15, 1971, our politicians destroyed the link between gold and the dollar. They destroyed the foundations of our economic system.
A new Internet site, TheGoldStandardNow.org, provides news and cutting-edge analysis about this most important issue and explains how the gold standard worked in the past and how it can work in the future. Visit us today:
