The yellow brick road (gold standard), the emerald city of Oz (greenback money), even Dorothy's silver slippers (changed to ruby slippers for the movie version) were the symbol of Baum's and Bryan's belief that adding silver coinage to gold would provide much needed money to a depression-strapped, 1890s America.

We believe Baum's symbols represent the only solution to relieve the growing economic hardship here in America and the rest of the world

Now the question is how can we get out of this mess. Foreclosures are everywhere, unemployment is skyrocketing and this is only the beginning. America's economy is on a long, slippery slope from here on. The bubble ride of debt has come to an end.

'What can government do? The sad answer is under the current monetary system nothing. It's not going to get better until the root of the problem is understood and addressed. There isn't enough stimulus money in the entire world to get us out of this hole. Why? Debt. The national debt is just like our consumer debt it's the interest that's killing us.

The solution is the secret that's been hidden from us for just over 100 years ever since the time when author L. Frank Baum wrote The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
