Gold as the Solution: Judy Shelton’s Plan to Fix America’s Dollar Crisis

Dr. Judy Shelton, a former economic advisor to President Donald Trump and author of Good as Gold: How to Unleash the Power of Sound Money, has a stark warning: America’s rising debt and reliance on fiat currency may erode global confidence in the dollar. In a recent interview with Jeremy Szafron, anchor at Kitco News, Dr. Shelton outlines her bold vision for achieving financial stability in the U.S.

She offers a critical view of current Federal Reserve policies, arguing that they have exacerbated wealth inequality and fueled inflation. Dr. Shelton proposes a return to sound money by re-establishing a link between the U.S. dollar and gold. She introduces a novel solution of issuing Treasury bonds convertible to gold, which could strengthen the dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency while promoting economic stability.

By the way in the Constitution real money is gold and silver. Everything else is just credit

[nrao]

Thanks for that interview.

Would like to point out that the very reason for an alternative to the USD as reserve currency is what Dr. Shelton said, "Soft power."

Second, the top five nations with the largest reserves of gold were (and I would argue) colonial powers. Britain, for instance, stole gold from her colonies.

It would help if someone could point it out to her that there has always been a line between nations that colonized and those that were colonized. What we are witnessing is a near revolt from nations that were colonized, called the Global South.

There is a social + cultural aspect to economics that is not captured in the Western culture.

Why should Congress reform the Fed when Congress is the Fed.

[mandyyonge]

I was just thinking the same... I'm approaching retirement with comfortable millions, yet scared of leaving my savings in the bank, pondering if I should just buy gold to preserve and grow my money

[gfyabc]

Inflation is bad... What a novel concept!

Finally a person with a head on her shoulders. Ty Judy

[GeneShepherd-ks]

I left my country And immigrated to another country with low debt in the bricks sphere.
I got sick of the monopoly money printed out of thin air backed by nothing.
I also got sick of the government cartel who kept running around with a credit card blowing my future on the already wealthy donors at my family's expense.

[galbichef]
