Well, of course it doesn't!
So what's going to
happen if our 'leaders' continue to do this?
Collapse of the Dollar(s), Euro, Pound and Mark, etc - each of which now has no gold backing - and is now a 'fiat currency'.
It would be foolish of those thinkers amongst us to ignore this, and realise there MUST be an alternative type of currency that we can use with complete confidence, one that is beyond the reach of those who control, manipulate and devalue our standards of living.
Do you agree?
