The dollar stands on "Potomac hot air" not a firm foundation, like "The Gold Standard", HOW MUCH WILL THIS COST US?
Devaluation of Dollar- – This Web Report is part of a series of web reports from Freedomist.com about Ron Paul’s landmark hearing on the Federal Reserve held March 17, 2011, with two members of http://thegoldstandardnow.com testifying, James Grant and Lewis Lehrman.
The Federal Reserve has been betting on a weak dollar, the intentional devaluation of the dollar through the printing of trillions of dollars to allow the Federal Government to spend its way out of debt. Now, these policies are finally getting scrutiny, though the democrat party is so afraid of ending their free and easy access to these magic dollars (to fund their social engineering programs) that they actually boycotted the landmark hearings held recently by Ron Paul, hearings that have shed new light on the unchecked policies of a Federal Reserve that has no accountability to the people for whom its policies most heavily fall (and ultimately pay for):
These are the most significant monetary policy hearings in at least a generation, probably in 40 years, possibly in our lifetimes.
Lewis E. Lehrman’s statement and testimony included:

Inequality of wealth and privilege in American society is intensified by the Fed-induced inflationary process. The subsidized banking and financial community, combined with an overvalued dollar — underwritten by China — have also submerged the manufacturing sector, dependent as it is on goods traded in a competitive world market. In a word, the government deficit and the Federal Reserve work hand in hand, perhaps unintentionally, to undermine the essential equity and comity necessary in a constitutional republic. Equal opportunity and the harmony of the American community cannot survive perennial inflation.
If the defect is inflation and an unstable dollar, what is the remedy?
A dollar convertible to gold would provide the necessary Federal Reserve discipline to secure the long term value of middle income savings, to backstop the drive for a balanced budget. The gold standard would terminate the world dollar standard, by prohibiting official dollar reserves, and the special access of the government and the financial class to limitless cheap Fed and foreign credit.
This is the video from a part of that hearing:
