Alan Greenspan, who was the legendary central banker of the world's most important central bank, our Federal Reserve, has always said that the only truly global money is gold.
Well, the thing is, the Federal Reserve keeps for itself enormous powers on the justification that it is in the premier position to prevent financial instability.
So no other institution could be held more responsible for 2008.

to the needs of the economy.
And no one at the Fed saw that coming.
So we end up having this debacle and it ends up requiring bailouts, as you say.
And for me, what's bothersome is that the Fed, as a result of that, instead of being chastised, really
insisted on enlarging the enormous powers that it already had.
And we saw that under Ben Bernanke as the head of the Fed, our central bank engaged in these massive programs of purchasing treasury debt and mortgage-backed securities and bringing about zero interest rates for seven years.

He said they are getting creamed.
And I think it's this monetary favoritism that has come out of the Federal Reserve's policies that has caused me to, I ended up being branded a gold bug as if that's kind of a bad thing.
I know.
But you have to compare to what we had under a gold standard when we had a trustworthy money unit.
