Peter Schiff: The End of the Dollar Standard!
The reason that governments don't like gold is probably for the same reason that kids don't like chaperones at the senior prom. Because the chaperones are there to keep the kids in line and prevent them from doing things they really shouldn't be doing. And that's really what gold does. It's kind of like a chaperone for government politicians because it keeps them honest. Because if you have real money, and government wants to spend money on programs, it needs to collect that money in taxes. And that generally puts a brake on a lot of programs because the public doesn't want to pay.
Gold stands in the way, because you can print paper out of thin air. But gold can't be printed into existence; it needs to be mined. And if we're on a gold standard, and gold is money, then the government needs real money. And since it doesn't have the ability to make it, it has to collect it in taxes before it can spend it back into circulation.
It's not just the dollar. It's fiat currencies around the world that are losing purchasing power as their central banks are conjuring them into existence at a rate that's far more rapid than the miners are pulling gold out of the ground. Gold's a good store of value. So is silver. Bitcoin - no. Because bitcoin doesn't have any value and you can't store what you don't have.
It's not like we're finally seeing it. We've been seeing it for decades now. The monetary expansion is inflation. And the Fed's been expanding the money supply - they've been inflating the money supply for a long time.
So, I think that if we had a more honest CPI, the effects of inflation would be more apparent.
The government is really basically dropping money from helicopters, and it's about to drop a lot more. And that's going to go right into consumer goods, and it's going to push up prices.
I think the dollar is going to fall for a long time.
A. There's nothing modern about it. It's not like they just discovered the printing press. Central banks have been destroying their currencies with a printing press for a long time.
But if it's already been disproven multiple times, it's really not a theory. It's a tragedy is what it is. So, the whole name doesn't even make sense.
If you're creating all this inflation, eventually it's going to lead to a big increase in money supply, and then by their own definition, they're going to have to withdraw all that money from circulation if they don't want it to become worthless. But it's easier said than done. Once you get everybody high on heroin, how do you take the heroin away without them going through withdrawal? That's what the Federal Reserve just found out - again - when they tried to normalize interest rates after keeping them at zero for so long. The markets started hemorrhaging. They went into withdrawal in the fourth quarter of 2018 and everything started falling apart. So, they had to go back to QE. They had to go back to rate cuts. They had to keep the addict juiced up.
It's the ultimate something for nothing.

Global currency debasement

Economy hits debt saturation point. Global economy has no capacity to carry any more debt - Max Keiser.
The new higher levels of debt that many countries are now moving towards are going to be sustainable without imposing significant costs on growth as well as equity within their societies.
Every dollar that these central banks print will go directly into consumer price index inflation - and you will see it at the cash register immediately, and that is going to incredible social unrest.
Global debt to GDP is now at all-time high in Q1. Overall debt for the non financial-sector now worth 252% of global GDP.
Get ready for extreme global currency debasement.

Governments hate gold

Do governments hate gold? The short answer is Yes.
Governments hate gold because they cannot print it, and it is difficult for them to control.
Because they cannot print it or easily control it, gold has little use to them during the never-ending schemes to tax and then redistribute wealth.
Legal tender laws mean that all taxes must be paid in fiat currency, not gold or silver (held in physical form).
Nothing but sponsored fiat currencies issued by the government is acceptable to pay debts and taxes.

Judy Shelton's Vision for a Gold-Backed Treasury Bond

May 9, 2025: FoxBusiness introduces the "dollar reset" idea promoted by monetary economist and former Trump advisor Judy Shelton, who received some positive feedback from Trump allies and business leaders like Larry Kudlow and Steve Forbes. Her proposal? A 50-year gold-backed bond to be issued on July 4, 2026 — anchoring the dollar to real value as a symbol of financial sovereignty.
November 27, 2024: Renowned economist and advocate of the gold standard, Judy Shelton, has once again brought the conversation on sound money to the forefront.
In a recent post on X, formerly Twitter, she posed a thought-provoking question:
"Why don't we use our gold as collateral for a new Treasury debt instrument?"
Shelton has proposed an innovative mechanism for reintroducing the gold standard - a 50-year Treasury bond convertible into gold, to be issued on July 4, 2026, under the initiative of President Donald Trump.
This move, she argues, could symbolize a return to fiscal discipline and monetary stability, aligning with the principles of America's founding.
A former economic advisor to President Trump, Shelton has been a vocal critic of the Federal Reserve and its monetary policies.
Her latest book, Good as Gold: How to Unleash the Power of Sound Money, delves into the historical and practical benefits of a gold-backed monetary system, highlighting its potential to curb inflation, stabilize currencies, and restore trust in the U.S. dollar.

H.R.5404, a bill to define the dollar as a fixed weight of gold

H.R. 5404 is a bill introduced by Rep. Alex Mooney (R-WV2) that would bring the U.S. back to the gold standard once and for all. It would take effect exactly 30 months after the bill was passed, to allow an adjustment period in the American economy. Interestingly for a Republican-introduced bill, if the bill was enacted any time after July 2018, that 30-month window would come under the administration of the 2020 election.
