It wasn’t backed properly like we had it backed for 200 years in this country. Doesn’t this gradual reduction of the Gold/Silver standard for paying or war sound just like us? Shouldn’t that alarm the heck out of you?

So your solution is what, exactly? Travel back in time to the 1930’s and make it so that the U.S. doesn’t go off the gold standard? Why do you think the U.S. went off the gold standard in the first place? Do you think maybe there were some problems with it? If the gold standard failed in the 1930’s, what is to stop it from failing again?
And it’s not like economic crises only come about during times of fiat currencies. Read about the Long Depression that lasted from 1873-1896.
