Ron Paul and the Dollar.

[Woolygimp]

I've read that he wants to push for a hard currency, abolish the IRS, and get rid of the dollar as a fiat money.

This sounds like a sudden change coming from a M.D.
Anything sudden is going to have a drastic effect, for better or worse and I may be wrong but one of the worst things for a currency is inconsistency, or instability.

Are there any reports analyzing these changes and the effects they would have on the American economy more in depth?
