it seems to me that ron paul's justification for going back on a gold standard is inflation, but not everyone agrees we are in an inflationary period. i don't claim to understand economics well-enough to have an opinion either way but if there's debate about it, i tend to not side with sensationalizing the issues. also, i don't see how the current world economy could be supported by the current amount of gold. especially if it comes to individuals having to own gold for transactions.
but again, it's a complex topic i haven't completely immersed myself in.
