It’s the gold standard, stupid
The federal government now serves as pusher/dealer for the nation’s drug of choice: money. We’re all addicted to it.

Roosevelt’s alphabet soup agencies and deficit spending). Now we’re going through withdrawal pains.
It makes no sense for the pusher/dealer also to serve as doctor in fighting this addiction, but to steal a tagline from the late Walter Cronkite: “That’s the way it is.”
