The more they print money, the more people buy into that monetarist bullshit while the rich rob us by driving up prices and claiming "inflation".

"Shortage of homes" created by a parasitic class of people and corporations who gobble up all the available homes
The issue isn't the amount of money in circulation. Who do you think controls the prices that thereby makes your money worth less? It's not demand from the consumer, it's greed from the seller. Going back on a peg to gold would just mean less poor people have even less money.
It also cripples the functioning of the federal government by creating a financial restraint. The only real constraint on the US federal government and those like it is resources. Granted, everyone still pushes the false narrative that the federal government needs to collect the money it creates before spending it and barely anyone questions this. Governments suspended the gold standard when they wanted to anyway: see FDR's actions during WW2 as an example.
The real issue is the absolute greed and psychopathic lust for power of the elite. We need to take back our own governments and tax these people out of their wealth and thereby reduce their power and influence.
