HuffPo Writer Becomes Unhinged When Ted Cruz Praises Gold Standard

DECEMBER 23, 2015 Ryan McMaken

 

In case you had any illusions about mainstream pundits softening on their hatred of the use of gold a money, witness today's absolutely hysterical diatribe against gold at Huffpo by someone named Zach Carter.

 

Carter apparently blew a gasket when he heard that Ted Cruz was out stumping in favor of a gold standard, or at least an approximation of one.

 

Carter begins by noting that Cruz may be the only viable alternative to "the racist billionaire" Trump, but the GOP has a big problem even with Cruz since Cruz, in the Carter narrative, is an obvious kook due to his support for a gold standard. (For the record, I do not think that Cruz, if elected, would ever do anything to actually try and bring about a system of more market-oriented money.)
