Can anyone name a country that works off the gold standard? Nope.

People clamoring for the Gold standard don't understand how economies work. With a gold standard, most people wouldn't be able to buy homes, have credit cards, take out business loans. Seriously guys, read some basic books on our economy (and the economy of every country).
