Washington, D.C. – West Virginia Congressman Alex Mooney recently proposed legislation “to define the dollar as a fixed weight of gold.” Mooney harshly criticized U.S. monetary policy, citing the 96 percent loss since “the end of the gold standard in 1913,” which in real life terms means that means a dollar in 1913 would now be only be worth .04 cents.

“The United States dollar has lost 30 percent of its purchasing power since 2000, and 96 percent of its purchasing power since the end of the gold standard in 1913. Under the Federal Reserve’s two percent inflation objective, the dollar loses half of its purchasing power every generation, or 35 years,” the bill stated.   Continue reading “Congressman Proposes Bill to Return to Pre-1913 Gold-Backed US Dollar”

President Donald Trump’s latest order, in which he demands an end to “Catch and Release,” comes less than a month after he signed the omnibus spending bill which expanded the program, allowing for more illegal aliens caught at the border to be released into the United States.

Catch and Release is the process where illegal aliens caught by federal immigration officials are released back into the U.S. until their immigration court hearing. Part of the reason for their release into the country is because the federal government refuses to fund the space needed to detain illegal aliens until their hearing.   Continue reading “Trump Orders End to ‘Catch and Release’ of Illegal Aliens After Expanding Program Last Month”
