Good question larrt. i think the first thing is to can the Federal Reserve System and get the treasury department involved in the distribution of money again. I think any kind of prescious metal satndard is long gone, the cat has been out of the bag too long. What I would like to see is some form of value that has to be present before the Fed can print more money. The Fed acts way too much in secret, they need their asses audited every 6 months, and a severe housecleaniong if we can't abolish the whole F&^$#@ mess.
