I'm still learning this reading up on the GS subject but if it did come back, what would happen to housing prices and the stock market ? Would there be less $ in the economy ? Would it hurt it at first or no ? Would prices of goods drop to what they were pre 1933? Today's dollar is worth 4 cents in 1933. Would your house basically not go up in value or would it go up just a tad ?

Would it be possible for a couple of people to actually address this question at some point in this thread?

Its an impossible set of questions to give definitive answers to, because there are innumerable possible paths back to a gold standard. None are likely to be pretty, but some are much uglier than others.
