You ask what I would have controlling inflation / deflation. The free market is my answer. Study the history of inflation / deflation you will see that almost without exception inflationary shocks are caused by the control of money and its supply by a narrow self-serving elite. You ask what else I would favour when a much better question would be why, based on the historical record you would ever lend intellectual support to the status quo.

You mention "bullshit Fed conspiracies". Do you actually understand the Fed and its origins? I'm 100% sure that you don't. The robber barrons were never deposed. When the Rockefellers and Morgans were relieve of thier "monopolies" they gained the greatest cartel and monopoly that one can possess: The power to print the money. The won the central bank. That's no conspiracy. It's fact.

Your mention of mining is a bit confused, and I don't really understand what your getting at. You are aware that mining isn't cost-free activity?

Finally, before you repeat the asinine arguments as a peasant shill of their cartel how about asking yourself why the central banks of the world retain gold as their most prized asset while at the same time quite successfully employing you, for free to peddle the notion that only toilet paper has any utility in internet discussions.
