Gold standard

a liberal plot to make niggers rich by making gold teeth more valuable

There is nothing wrong with low levels of deflation, it drives down exports but it also makes imports cheaper, after increased spending the market corrects itself. Attempts to intervene only result in a bubble and further price instability.

The idea that is reduces spending is ridiculous, your money increases in value during periods of inflation when you keep it in the bank so according to that theory people should never spend at all.

Yes, it's all a conspiracy to say that money should backed by something real and doesn't have value just because we say it does.

KILL ALL NIGGERS AND JEWS

Libertarians sure love that fried chicken.

Lemmesee;
* Economy goes great, few bother with gold, price stays low; good timing for gold investment.
* Economy goes less than great, people start panic-buying gold; prices rise, NOT good timing for gold investment.
* Economy goes to shit, the real morons get in on the panic-buying, gold prices soar; outright retarded timing for gold investment. This is where you sit tight and watch for signs of the gold price slowing down.
THAT's when you sell your gold (quoth Captain Obvious).

Tl;dr: No need for an evil conspiracy to phuxx0r the economy (or, in this case, the gold price), when a bunch of panic-buyer retards do the job just fine.
