The US National Debt is approx. $36 trillion and change.
The US holds 261.5 million troy ounces of gold with a current book value of $11.04 billion at $42.2222 per troy ounce.
To Cover the entire national debt with the book value of gold reserves, the value per troy ounce would need to be revalued to approx. $139,771 per ounce.
This is unrealistic. If the amount of gold was doubled, it still would make no sense. Unless the currency was hyperinflating.
The solution is to rule the Federal Reserve unconstitutional and skip out on the tab.
