End the fiat money system, go back to gold and silver standard for the dollar.

Since 1971 the US has spent money like a teenager with brand new credit card with a virtually unlimited credit limit. If we were a common household (or teenager) we would have gone into bankruptcy long ago, instead we've continually raised the credit ceiling. It is time to move the dollar back to a true "legal tender" status. This will allow the dollar to regain value increasing the purchasing power of dollars, thus increasing the standard of living for every American, and will also reduce overall inflation. No amount of management can sustain a fiat currency forever. We are simply living beyond our means and it is time to back up our currency with something of substance (gold/silver), not government promises. Finally, a gold standard forces accountability which is what Washington needs.
