I ain't no economist, but I am an avid reader of U.S. history and have noted that the country slipped downhill since the great depression, about the same time america ditched gold.

I also find it hilarious that James Madison, the writer of the constitution, said that as soon as the nation stopped allowing people to trade paper money for gold and silver (like when we ditched the standard) that America would know the country had become dishonest and corrupt. He said something like the gold standard would be a check and balance on the purity of government's motives.
