Gold Four Medal
The abandonment of the gold standard made it possible for the welfare statists to use the banking system as a means to an unlimited expansion of credit. in the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. there is no safe store of value. deficit spending is simply a scheme for the hidden confiscation of wealth. gold stands in the way of this insidious process. it stands as a protector of property rights. if one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists' antagonism toward the gold standard.

The obsession with gold, actually and politically, occurs among those who regard economics as a branch of morality. gold is solid, gold is durable, gold is rare, gold is even (in certain very peculiar circumstances) convertible. to believe in thrift, solidity and soundness is to believe in some way in the properties of gold.

In all the thrashing about that results from our dwindling gold reserves, it's about time that this country and other countries get some perspective on the situation. the day this country is out of the stuff, that day gold becomes what it's worth as a metal and no longer will have much significance as a monetary measurement. it isn't the gold we have that makes this nation rich. it's what we make, our knowhow, our productivity. so long as this country produces more and better, the world will continue to want what we make.

At the end of our lives, we will not be judged by the highest public office we attained in our lifetime, if that were true the current president (george w. bush) would hold as much esteem as franklin roosevelt in our country, and nelson mandela in his. that cannot be the case. rather, we will each be judged by the mark we've left on others.
