Unit 3 Topic Selection Journal

July 10, 2013 Today I will be researching information related to monetary policy for the United States government. The national debt is spinning out of control and congress has not presented a solution to the problem. Currently the government is printing lots of money that is virtually worthless and this strategy is causing the price of goods to rise due to the weak dollar. During the 19th century, American secured the value of its currency with gold. Statistics show that the national debt is stabilized when gold is used to back up the currency.
