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.

Jubilee Call for Debt Relief Reaches the White House

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and Jubilee USA Network urged President Trump to support global debt relief in a joint letter, citing the biblical Jubilee tradition of debt forgiveness. They argue that expanding debt relief stabilizes developing nations, boosts U.S. exports, and reduces domestic food and fuel prices. The letter, timed with a pause on new tariffs, praises Trump’s first-term debt relief efforts and frames the initiative as aligning with his “America First” agenda. While Trump hasn’t responded, the proposal’s economic benefits may appeal to him, though any commitment would likely hinge on clear U.S. advantages without straining resources.
