Return to gold standard

Economy

In order to have sound money which will provide a level playing field for all citizens, I propose returning the U.S. to the classical gold standard. In order to prevent the government from abusing this standard again, two things must be done. First, the gold held by the treasury must back the currency in circulation 100%. Second, to enforce the first provision, all U.S. citizens must be allowed to exchange their physical and digitally issued federal reserve notes (commonly called dollars) at any bank for physical gold coin or bullion.
