They made everyone turn in their gold in 33 when they founded the federal reserve...
Hey genius, the Federal Reserve dates to 1913.

2 out of 3 ain't bad.
If your goal in life is to be wrong 33% of the time that is your issue to deal with.

One of Trump's picks for Treasury Secretary has mentioned implementing a gold standard.
John Allison has bashed the FED in the past saying it is too manipulative and allows global banking to run wild.
Perhaps the Federal Reserve Act itself as well as the current policy setting by the Basel Committee in Switzerland deserves a closer look at how NWO banking is hurting populations around the world.
Trump himself has had some choice words about the FED too.
Trump: I Will Abolish The Federal Reserve
Donald Trump has vowed to abolish the Federal Reserve and reinstate the gold standard when he enters the White House in January.
One of Trump’s picks for the Treasury Department Secretary, John Allison, hinted that he will implement the gold standard when the current Federal Reserve Chief, Janet Yellen, retires in 2018.
Conservativedailypost.com reports:
On the campaign trail, Trump often questioned the future of the Federal Reserve’s political independence. In line with these comments, Allison wants to abolish Federal Reserve all together and go back to the gold standard.
In fact, Allison takes that rhetoric one step further. While acting as the head of the Cato Institute, Allison published several thesis indicating that the Federal Reserve was obsolete and needed to be abolished as it restricts power from the people and allows billionaire cronies to run banks globally.
“I would get rid of the Federal Reserve because the volatility in the economy is primarily caused by the Fed,” Allison wrote in 2014 for the Cato Journal.

Gold is too heavy.
We've been dropping those dead-weights like metals and paper.
We're now into bits and bytes, which are much lighter and faster to move around.
Cant' go back to gold, because transactions would take too long to complete in the modern world of high speed digital processing.
Besides, all money is backed by faith.
People only have to worry when everyone looses faith.

I'm pretty sure it was on Kennedy's to do list. He just didn't get round to it.
Urban legend. He expanded its control of currency.
