If we didn't have a private Federal Reserve we would have a Nationalized Central Bank run by loons like Barney Frank, Bernie Sanders, and the like. You gotta love Ron Paul and his message, but in a world with dumb liberals in Congress, the Fed is the lesser of two evils :/

The Congressman Ron Paul who wants govt to get out everything and do nothing is the same guy who requested 8 million $ in govt money in FY 2007 for wild shrimp marketing. Where in the US Constitution does it say govt should get involved in marketing shrimp ?

Theoretically yes, if the money supply stays constant, or only grow very gradually, but in practise it does not work this way. You need a commodity standard as a restriction. Mind you: the M3 has not only increased fast the past year or so, it has increased SUPERfast.

In fact, it's not necessary to have a standard, whenever the quantity of currency doesn't increase fast.

It doesn't matter what metals you choose as the standard, as long as you stick with it. The quantity of money makes no difference. There's plenty of gold and silver for a gold/silver standard. All it means is that a dollar won't be worth 1/35 ounce anymore. It'd be more like 1/2000 ounce or something like that.
