And so will the rest of us. The national discussion has taken a turn towards eventual prosperity.

"Sneak Peek:" George Will's Fantasy Question on Gold
Written by Ralph J. Benko
Friday, September 02, 2011

This just in:

Politico, the favorite newspaper for political junkies, gives a "Sneak Peek" for George F. Will's Sunday "fantasy question" for the upcoming presidential debate providing ideas for Wednesday’s moderators, John F. Harris and Brian Williams:

For Rick Perry: … Would you solve the problems inherent in fiat money by returning to the gold standard? …

Where candidates stand on the gold standard -- the obvious alternative to the paper dollar standard -- is very much becoming part of the presidential debate. While this question is unsettling to the "Paper Tigers" -- the defenders of the Nixon Paper Dollar Policy, it is a perfectly understandable reaction to the soggy economy struggling under an unreliable monetary policy inherent in inconvertible paper money.

The paper dollar is becoming, for an increasing number of commentators, such as CNBC's Steve Liesman a "prime suspect" in the persistent unemployment and anemic economic growth plaguing America and the world.

And also, now, even to senior members of the Commentariat like George Will.

Old article is old, though.

Here are a few newer ones that compare Ron's campaign strategy to the one that earned Jesse Jackson influential stage time at the convention back in '88.
