* Bill Introduced in Congress to Restore Gold Standard – Peter Rykowski, Legislation has been introduced in Congress to restore the gold standard — a major step toward adhering to the US Constitution and bringing back sound-money policies – TheNewAmerican.com
* HR9157, titled the Gold Standard Restoration Act, is sponsored by US Rep. Alex Mooney Va If enacted, it would be a significant step to restoring sanity to US monetary policy.
* In its list of legislative findings, the bill correctly notes that “The Federal Reserve note has lost more than 30% of its purchasing power since 2000, and 97% of its purchasing power since the passage of the Federal Reserve Act in 1913,” and it notes that under official Fed policy, “the dollar loses half of its purchasing power every 35 years.”
* Emphasizing the need for “a stable dollar, fixed exchange rates, and money supply controlled by the market not the government,” HR9157 states that returning to the gold standard is necessary for monetary and fiscal sanity, along with limited government. It states, “The gold standard puts control of the money supply with the market instead of the Federal Reserve, discourages excessive deficit spending, and encourages the balancing of Federal budgets.”
* Ultimately, Congress must completely abolish the Federal Reserve. However, HR9157 would be a great first step toward restoring adherence to the Constitution and sound monetary policy.
