Only way it would work is if we revalue the dollar and/or increase the price of gold. We simply do not have enough gold to cover our GDP.

When we refer to the gold standard...I don't think we would be talking about 1 to 1 ratio. I would think we could return to some fractional system as we had in the past.

Still wouldn't work. We don't have enough gold even if it were 5K an ounce.

You may be right. Just how much gold is there anyway? Who really knows? I can tell you this...I don't trust the government for one second on any answer it would give.

If either are the nominee, I'm going third party or write-in.

The only other GOP candidates I could conceivably vote for are in the 5% to sub 5% zone and won't make it.

We are in agreement there. Not sure how anyone could do a "lesser of two evils" given those hypothetical options.
