- We must reform our monetary system in alignment with the United States Constitution. Article I. Section. 8. clause 5. states: "The Congress shall have Power [....] To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures. To provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin of the United States"
- We need permanent solutions to our problems and to achieve that, our government must control our money supply and the issuance of our money as it was meant to be in our Constitution.
- Reforming our monetary system is the key to bring inflation under control to stabilize our economy, lower the crime rate, because we all deserve living in safe neighborhoods and build more affordable housing, because nobody should be homeless.
We will have the financial resources, without borrowing money, or raising taxes, to bring inflation under control, to tackle rising crime across our nation because we all should be able to live in safe neighborhoods, eradicate homelessness because nobody should be homeless, create affordable housing, providing world class education, to make health care very affordable, to take care of the families of our fallen soldiers, first responders and to make sure that the retirement benefits are sufficient, so our elderly population can live in dignity in their home and not in a tent under a bridge.
