The gold standard was one of the worst fiscal policies ever. Its use was directly responsible for the destruction of millions of lives. Arguing to bring it back shows incredible nativity and a severe lack of history.
I suggest you read up on how horrible of an idea the gold standard was before you spout this kind of nonsense.
