Senator JD Vance, R-Ohio, who is former President Trump's vice presidential nominee, expressed support for Trump's idea that U.S. presidents should have a say in the Federal Reserve's monetary policy decisions, including interest rate changes.
In an interview on CNN's "State of the Union," Vance agreed with Trump, arguing that such decisions should involve America's elected leaders and not be left solely to the independent Federal Reserve.
Vance acknowledged that this would mark a significant shift from the traditional approach, where the Fed operates independently of political influence, but emphasized that Trump is advocating for greater political input, not direct control, over monetary policy.

Treating gold and silver as money

May 12, 2024 update: Nebraska ended capital gains taxes on sales of gold and silver With Gov. Jim Pillen's signature.
Older news:
42 states have removed some or all taxes from the purchase of gold and silver.
And there are new bills pending now in five of the eight remaining states, i.e. Tennessee, Mississippi, Kentucky, Hawaii, and New Jersey.
In 2019, the Sound Money Defense League teamed up with sound money advocates in West Virginia to eliminate sales taxes on precious metals.
A similar effort will be considered in Olympia, Washington.
Passage into law would relieve some of the tax burdens on investors, and would also take a step toward treating gold and silver as money instead of as commodities.
Repealing these taxes knocks down one barrier that might keep some investors from considering physical metal for their portfolios.
