Before you Pooh bah the Idea think of this

1935 Ford truck is 750$ at 32/ oz equals 25 oz of Gold
2008 Ford truck is 22,500$ at 900/oz or 25 oz of Gold

1935 lunch [Sandwich-Soup-Coffee] was 22~25 cents or 1/4 ~1/5 of a Gram at 1$ /Gram -- [32/Oz divided by 31 grams]
2008 Big Mac Lunch is 6 ~7$ or 1/4 ~1/5 of a gram at 30$/Gram --930/oz divided by 31 grams per oz.

And before you point to the CPI remember the Feds have reset the Base year 5 times since the CPI was started 2^5 =32 for a inflation of 3200% since 1948.
Yet the Gold and silver prices for things are still the same.

So all the extra Cash the Government has pumped into the Economy, has not been needed.

So there is no Need for more Money beyond the natural increase in the Gold/Silver supply.
