Gold standard wouldn't work because there is only so much gold.

Well current estimates peg the worth of goal to be about half the worth of US money. Therefore either goal would have to be worth twice as much (from ~$1000 to ~$2000) or the worth of US money would have to be halved (sp?) and therefore your $1 is now worth $.50 etc. Plus the gold standard doesn't limit the amount of money that politicians can use as the price of gold can flucuate. Plus the gold worth vs. dollar worth will flucuate with the price of gold and you can see inflation/deflation unless you either print more money or mine more gold.

The more taxes the government collects, the more money it will spend. Oh hell, they will spend money they don't have anyway.

Yes it would, they would just have to make it illegal for people to own gold again, they did it once.

Who wouldn't want to see all those gold 20+" rims go bye bye
