Well the idea of going back to a currency Standard (gold, silver or something) is impossible. A fiat system of currency is necessary to finance...everything. We are (and any developed country) a debt-financed government, and would not have been able to grow / provide jack shit without debt financing.
The actual "pull out" of funds? Who knows, the FED guarantee's up to 100k anyway..
