Hey young people! Listen to somebody who actually knows what he's talking about re: the gold standard!

From The Atlantic Wire:

We wondered Tuesday morning why Ben Bernanke was offering a live-streamed lecture series to college students on the history of the Federal Reserve, and now we have at least one answer: He's reaching out to young people -- the young people who conveniently make up a core constituency of notorious Fed-antagonist Ron Paul.

This is great. Youngsters who have been listening to Ron Paul's endless droning about the gold standard on YouTube can now get real information about it, from the Chair of the Federal Reserve rather than from a gynecologist.
