The sad fact of the matter is that you have people on this forum who claim with a straight-face (I am imaging that) that this fiat money system is actually good and that if you don't agree with it then you are an anti-capitalist communist.
Also, the 6.7% percent inflation is probably bogus and it is probably more like 12% or more. The government cherry-picks what is in the "basket" used to calculate the inflation rate.
Gravel, Kucinich or Paul would at least ATTEMPT to - whether they would get much cooperation from Congress is debatable.
Both Gravel and Kucinich are socialists who would only get us deeper in debt. They may be anti-war but still want to overspend us into eventual oblivion.
