I know about what happened in France....they just reworked the laws to take some of the zeros off the currency...it was getting too difficult to keep track of the zeros.

Manufactured Inflation.
They did not learn from the post revolution Assignats....versus the gold Louis.
They just repeated the history....or whomever it was who stated about repeating history.
The Franc went the way of the Italian Lire..
What I believe in is Limited Government.....Unlimited finances on the part of government by unbacked monies is not limited government.
An Unbacked dollar does not limit the Government penchant for manufacturing inflation....and further buying up huge portions of the economy.
This to the point where the people , over time, become competitors in the only economy out here against government largess.
I have read John Maynard Keynes..."The Economic Consequences of the Peace>" I believe this was done about 1919.
What Keynes quotes about inflation/depreciation is quite startling considering how many times since it has taken place with devastating effects on nations and people.
Talking about history repeating itself.
Oh...by the way........
The reason you back money is because the stuff being used for money is not real money.
Real money never needs backing. Real money is a storehouse of value....paper is not a storehouse of value when government can print or issue ad infinitum....and the Federal Reserve banks will tell you that the government can issue or print unlimited....or if you prefer...borrow unlimited on the government debt.

Yes, I know you believe our dollar backed with PMs we can't afford would be different. Just how would we buy all those PMs to back the dollar with our devalued dollar.
