News Date: August 16,2020

As you can see, the supply of dollars has gone up dramatically, really since the gold standard ended in 1971. It is a gradual slope.
But if you see since the recession, it has been aggressive. And then, obviously, here, this year, it has been nearly vertical.
The value of the dollar is critical. That is the store of value for all Americans.
According to Congressman Davidson's office, the caucus exists to promote sound fiscal and monetary policy in the United States with the goal of preserving the purchasing power of the U.S. Federal Reserve Note.

April 2: Liberation Day and Coinage Act Celebration

April 2 weaves together two remarkable threads of American history, uniting past innovation with modern commemoration. On April 2, 1792, the United States Congress enacted the Coinage Act, a pivotal law that solidified the nation's early monetary system. Signed under President George Washington, this act established the dollar as the official currency and launched a bimetallic system, linking its value to gold and silver. Overseen by the newly founded United States Mint, it standardized coins by their precious metal content, fostering trust and stability in a young economy. Fast forward to 2025, and President Donald Trump declared April 2 "Liberation Day," a bold celebration of economic renewal through aggressive trade policies - an apt, if coincidental, nod to the day's historic financial roots.
While the Coinage Act of 1792 didn't usher in the full gold standard - later cemented in the 19th century - it laid critical groundwork with its practical yet forward-thinking design. It equipped the fledgling republic with a unified currency vital for commerce and growth, signaling a break from colonial reliance.
Today, April 2, 1792, endures as a cornerstone of American monetary history, its bimetallic foundation shaping the nation's economic trajectory. Trump's "Liberation Day" proclamation in 2025 adds a contemporary flourish, merging the legacy of financial independence with a modern vision of liberation, making April 2 a day of dual resonance.

Trump Touts Tariff Plan to Slash Income Taxes

President Donald Trump announced on April 27, 2025, that his tariff strategy will lead to significant income tax reductions, potentially eliminating taxes entirely for those earning under $200,000 annually. In a post on social media, Trump claimed the plan would create a “BONANZA FOR AMERICA,” with new factories and jobs already in motion, dubbing it the “EXTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE.” He also warned that reciprocal tariffs, paused for negotiations, could resume within weeks if trade deals falter. Meanwhile, World Bank Chief Ajay Banga urged developing nations to negotiate trade agreements with the U.S. to mitigate tariff impacts. Experts suggest China is softening its stance in the trade war, with Beijing exempting some U.S. goods from tariffs, signaling a potential shift in response to Trump’s aggressive strategy.

Trump Allies Target Fed's Independence: WSJ

Some members of Trump's team are devising plans to restructure the Federal Reserve, which could grant the president direct influence over interest rate decisions and potentially remove the current Fed Chair, Jerome Powell, from office before his term ends in 2026.
This move is part of a broader strategy by Trump's allies to diminish the Federal Reserve's independence if he secures a second term, amidst internal disagreements among his advisers on how forcefully to challenge the central bank's authority.

This effort follows the federal government's actions in 2020, during Trump's tenure, where large portions of the financial markets were nationalized, with the Federal Reserve providing the necessary funds.
Notably, BlackRock was entrusted with executing the trades, effectively merging the Federal Reserve and Treasury into a singular entity.
