Steve Forbes' Summary:
Steve Forbes encapsulates the necessity for a sound, stable US dollar.
The only viable alternative is gold backed money.
The current monetary system is a sham, fiat money has no value, merely a means to facilitate wealth accumulation.
Conversely, gold and silver are the only de facto money.
He cites the exponential rise of prosperity in the US under the gold standard and the subsequent erosion of influence under the current fiat experiment, which resulted in an $8 trillion dollar reduction in the national living standard.
Nevertheless, a gold backed dollar could be established in less than one year - please listen to the show for the entire plan.
"When people stop trusting their money, they stop trusting each other."
The profound notion is illustrated by the undermining of the social fabric within domestic / global society.
