RON PAUL??!! You think Ron Paul supports a gold standard because he
receives campaign contributions, and if he stopped receiving
campaign contributions and expressed his true beliefs, he would
support inviting Zimbabwe's finance minister to run the Fed? Do you

believe what they say?
No doubt he does - he's a true believer. The empirical problem is easy
to solve:

Mining does not appear.
Didn't William Jennings Bryan get money from silver mining interests?
