Meanwhile, the dollar has fallen 95% since the federal reserve came to screw us in 1913.
Yet, our consumer purchasing power has massively increased since 1913. Our economy is undoubtedly much better, and my personal pocketbook is bigger than it would have been in 1912. I can do more, eat more, own more, and am wealthier than most people back then, and in today's age, I'm very much lower class.
Ron Paul also doesn't seem to understand economics all that well. How many retailers do you think would start accepting non-US dollars? Zero. It would only add conversion costs to their bills. Currencies are natural monopolies.
It's one area where Ron Paul doesn't seem to even know his history. 1780's saw many currencies in the US, non-fiat - and our economy was horrible. One of the
main reasons the Convention of 1787 was called was because of the monetary crisis. Then, the Federal Government took over, bought up currencies, and made the whle thing much more uniform, and voila!, our economy improved (along with coherent foriegn policy to allow for trading).
