Economy, jobs, taxes, and affordability

Candidate position

The Cure for Inflation-GOLD!More preciselyThe Gold Standard Act!I am the candidate who will Introduce and be the lead sponsor of the Gold Standard Act.From the moment of the Nixon Shock — the moment America went off the Gold Standard— in 1971, The American Dollar Lost 85% in the 10 years hence. That is, from 1971-1981 you and I lost 85% of our buying power! We need to bring sanity to our American Monetary Policy. So I propose and will be the chief Sponsor of the original Gold Standard Act of 1984. Originally introduced by Jack Kemp, and co-sponsored by Congressmen Vin Weber, Connie Mack and House Speaker Newt Gingrich. With one stroke of the pen, we will handcuff the Entire Federal Reserve. We will save the US Economy! We will prevent the further erosion of the US Dollar. Our economy’s furnace will be regulated by the Gold Standard Thermostat. We will arrest the devaluation of the dollar using the precious metal, Gold! Gold has withstood multiple millennia! Yet no one realized the axiom “If ain’t Broke, don’t fix it!”And in attempting to cure the ills of failed fiscal policy of the Lyndon B. Johnson presidency, namely the Fiscal imprudence of the Great Society, that imposed Socialism 1.0, the key adviser to Nixon, the egotistical, John Connolly set about the novice Nixon on “Fixing” the Monetary System by untethering the dollar. The result was the destruction of the value of our US dollar. The only person who got it was federal reserve chairman, Alan Greenspan who actually employed the de facto Gold Standard while he watched over monetary policy. He admitted so much in the most recent 5-7 years. When the idea was floated by President Trump, that he would nominate Steve Moore to the federal Reserve, the Imbeciles and liars at CNN, where Steve Worked, pulled out the knives to skewer him. They made horrible personal attacks against Steve Moore who they thought he would push to employ the Gold Standard, and that he would be a threat to their fiat currency. Fiat Currency is Government’s way of imposing taxes without one single vote of Congress!Today, we have an opportunity to change all that, I will not cower, I will not be intimidated! I will stand up for the American people, I will fight to restore the Gold Standard to protect your buying power. I will lead this crusade to protect our Dollar and all Americans buying power. We will end inflation in its tracks.
