RE:RE:RE:Trump might dump Powell on Wednesday ??I have often heard it pointed out that the US would be unlikely to return to a gold standard of some kind because 'there's not enough gold.' Jim Rickards favourite retort to this notion is that gold would simply increase in value until there was 'enough' gold. In other words, it's not a problem of supply, it's a simple matter of price. As for mass confiscation, I really don't think that would fly in a country like the United States, where there's something like 20 guns for every citizen in the country. You'd have a mass armed revolt with plenty of shooting. And really, it would be completely unneccesary for the government to confiscate anybody's gold. They wouldn't need it, as they'd just buy as much as they need with fiat dollars until they had about 20-40% of the value in gold relative to their outstanding foreign debt. It would be a pretty simple matter, really.
