You Can't Trust the United States Anymore
�The United Sates decided, as a matter of policy, to trash the dollar. The Chinese made one enormous blunder; they actually trusted the United States to the tune of $3 trillion of assets to maintain the value of the dollar.
�China�s learning the hard way that you really can�t trust the United States anymore.�

Government Will Have to Go Back to a Gold Standard
"Once the chaos hits, which I would define as a complete loss of confidence in paper money, social unrest and riots, when that sort of things starts to break out, governments will have to do something and they�ll have to regain trust. And the easiest, fastest way to regain trust is by going back to a gold standard. So as I say, they won�t want to do it but they will do it out of necessity."

A Gold Backed Currency is the Most Desirable Outcome
"The most desirable outcome is probably some kind of gold-backed currency. And, it doesn�t mean that we�ll all be walking around with gold coins in our pockets. You can have paper currencies but they can be supported by gold, and tied in some way. And you can have discretionary monetary policy, these things are not mutually exclusive. So, I think they would be the best because it would mean that government�s would stop stealing from their citizens in the form of inflation.
If you have savings or retirement, or annuity or an insurance policy, you�re dependent upon a fixed income or a fixed stream of dollars. If I make those dollars worth less, it�s exactly like stealing money from you. And that�s what countries to do their citizens, that�s what government�s do to their citizens. And, one way to prevent that is to, well, citizens can protect themselves from buying gold and countries can avoid it in the first place by having a gold backed standard. So, I think that�s the most desirable."
