Trump talked about bringing back the gold standard and as we know he's in the process of taking out the Rothschild thieves. I don't know anything about economics but people say everyone will be more prosperous if the gold standard comes back. How will the gold standard affect us? Thanks
EDIT: Thanks for all your comments guys! Y'all helped me understand
There pro and con arguments about the gold standard. A good thing would be if the US Dollar were officially backed by gold on deposit at the various Federal Depository location ( there are at least 8 scattered around the USA). OTOH, if the Dollar was exchangeable for gold there would be a massive and potentially crippling run or rush to redeem. Making the Dollar "float" with the price of gold would cause hour-by-hour fluctuations in the "value" of the Dollar -- a disaster for foreign trade. Personally I would like to see a return to the old "yellow-backs" and gold coins. Today, as an inflation exemplar, a single Double Eagle (face value $20), will buy a new refrigerator. $2,000 in paper or credit is required under the present system.
