Ron Paul is calling for competing currencies, any surprise FED says GOLD NOT MONEY, really just look at what's going on here. Fiat currency + fractional reserving 0 x 10-33 = what few 100 trillion??? (not zero) ??? FED says they got money back, my guess is it's based on the same principal FED was birthed on, FROM THE NEWLY CREATED FRACTIONATED MONEY. That's right you (public) put up the money to get FED started.
Yep, no business like the banking business!
