Does The Right Have An Obsession With Gold Investment (Scams) At Present? |
|
Is there some link between the Right and all the gold talk? Hasn't Fox News been pushing this with their commercial advertising? Wasn't there some scandal about Glenn Beck pushing it? I hear people on the Right talking about this endlessly.

3. There are some on the right--and not just Ron Paul who want |

to bring back the Gold Standard. Some have always been suspicious of the idea of "paper" money in that the Fed can print as much as they see fit. Gold means you have a object of value equivalent to the money amount. People who have a problem with the very idea of a Federal Reserve are the usual ones who are hot on Gold.
When people fear the economy is going into bad recession or depression or some sort of crisis they flock to Gold. People who fear , really fear big deficits, they fear the economy will collapse, if they have some real gold, they have value. that would see them through hard times.
The Gold Commercials are everywhere. Fox may be doing the Deficit Hawks bidding--scare the people so they will let us cut cut cut and get rid of these entitlements. This sounds more like a Fox Motive.
