I will be watching this little documentary a bit later (and I'll keep my
salt shaker handy in case).

What's interesting is that the solution is spun as being "socialist" or
"anti-free-market."  I mean the government's involvement with anything

standard, which would have the effect of nationalizing the national
reserve (not necessarily a bad thing) and require explicit government
control over the price of gold.
