Ron Paul’s Advice for 2025
“I want to just obey the Constitution. The Constitution says only gold and silver can be legal tender.” – Ron Paul
He’s an icon of the sound money movement, the former Congressman who knows more about gold and money than others in Washington, and the elected official who tried valiantly year after year to have the Federal Reserve System audited.
Now Dr. Paul offers up some advice for the year 2025.
He advises Congress to act responsibly and pass a budget in a Constitutional manner. “Return to the normal legislative process and pass individual, clean appropriations bills with open rules that allow maximum participation from each Member or Senator.”
“Then spend the rest of the year renaming post offices, if you want. The American people will thank you for it.”
With major sections of Los Angeles still fighting fires that have claimed the homes of thousands and 12,000 Americans in North Carolina still living in tents four months after Hurricane Helene swept through, Congressman Paul points out that billions of dollars have been stolen by a corrupt regime in Ukraine, while Congress refused to demand monitoring of the money sent to the Zelensky regime. “Americans are rightly furious that President Biden has sent as much as $200 billion to fund Ukraine’s futile war with Russia, but where did Biden get that money? From Congress.”
“So why are we draining the US treasury and draining the population of Ukraine for a lost cause?” he asks.
Ron Paul also warns about a major economic crisis. “The Federal Reserve should resolve to stop enabling excessive federal spending by purchasing Treasury bonds, thus monetizing the federal debt. The Federal Reserve’s monetization of federal debt enables the federal government to amass trillions in debt while running a global empire abroad and a welfare state at home.”
“The American people feel the effects of the Fed’s debt monetization in the form of the regressive inflation tax.”
Dr. Paul would also like to see the media straighten up. “The media should resolve to stop gaslighting the American people with misinformation. For example, the media should stop repeating the lie that a failure to raise the debt ceiling will lead to a government default on its debts. The truth is a refusal to raise the debt ceiling would force Congress to reduce present and future spending — just like most people do when they find themselves in debt.”
Dr. Paul began buying gold in the 1960s when it was only $35 an ounce. And he says he wishes he had bought more!
“Here’s what I believe: by owning gold, I’m protected against inflation and the ongoing, frenzied money-printing that devalues the dollar.”
