A few months ago, I recall that Ron Paul was called "Dr. Loony" since he wanted to return to a currency based upon a durable/rare commodity -- gold. Most of the economically challenged, such as McCain, were evidently under the impression that if enough people needed money, it would simple matter to print up some more. But, as my old uncle used to say, "Money doesn't grow on trees" -- but there are still folks who think that there is a money tree in Washington. I think they are loony.
