The Currency Manipulator

Roosevelt's top economic advisor had a theory that inflating the price of gold would increase the price of stuff like wheat, corn, and cotton. For Roosevelt, getting those prices to rise would prop up farmers, and that, to him, was the key to ending the depression. In fact, the price of corn dipped 28%. Cotton went down 13%, wheat fell by 21%. 9.4 out of every 10 economists hate this. I tell you, it's as though Roosevelt is running this economy like a drunken toddler. There's even a story out there that he sets the price ofGold every morning whilst still wearing his pajamas. God bless it, it burns me up
