From your post...
"Restoring the US to the gold standard involves fixing the price of gold in US dollars. The only guaranteed way of doing that (though I am open to suggestions) is restoring convertability. That would require the US government to either buy a great deal of gold, or devalue the US dollar.
1. They don't have the money to buy the gold; and
2. Massive dollar devaluation would trigger chaos in world markets."
There is an Option 3...
Significantly increase the price of gold!
Cheers!
