Ron Paul Is Right: To Make America Great Again, Separate Money and State
In his first week back in office, President Trump signed an executive order titled “Delivering Emergency Price Relief for American Families and Defeating the Cost-of-Living Crisis.” The order directs federal agencies to roll back regulations that drive up costs in critical industries like housing, energy, and healthcare. That’s a step in the right direction—excessive regulation is an economic straitjacket—but the real driver of economy-wide inflation isn’t red tape. It’s the Federal Reserve.
Regulations might add friction to specific markets, but inflation—true, systemic inflation—is the result of reckless monetary policy. When the Federal Reserve expands the money supply, the value of each dollar falls, forcing Americans to work harder just to maintain the same standard of living. Yet, astonishingly, Trump is now pressuring the Fed to lower interest rates, a move that will inject even more cheap money into an already fragile economy. The short-term sugar high of rate cuts might make consumers feel richer, but in reality, it accelerates the destruction of their purchasing power.
How the Federal Reserve Wages War on the Middle Class
Inflation is a hidden tax. It benefits the wealthy and well-connected—those who receive newly printed money before prices adjust—while hammering working- and middle-class Americans, who are left paying higher prices with devalued wages. This is not an accident. It’s the design of the system.
The Federal Reserve’s manipulation of interest rates distorts the most fundamental price in the economy: the cost of borrowing. When the Fed artificially lowers rates, it tricks businesses and consumers into thinking money is cheaper than it really is. This creates asset bubbles—stocks, real estate, and other markets boom on easy credit—until reality catches up. When the bubble inevitably bursts, ordinary Americans suffer job losses, foreclosures, and evaporated savings. And what do politicians and central bankers do in response? The same thing they always do: pump out more money, create another bubble, and push the real crash down the road.
If history has taught us anything, it’s that every single one of these artificial booms eventually ends in a bust. We saw it in 2000 with the dot-com bubble, in 2008 with the housing collapse, and we’re seeing it again today in the everything bubble—sky-high stock valuations, soaring real estate prices, and an unsustainable mountain of corporate and government debt.
The Fed’s Game Is Rigged—Here’s How to Opt Out
Ron Paul is one of the few political voices brave enough to call out the Fed’s corruption. He’s right—no politician, bureaucrat, or central banker can determine the "correct" interest rate. The only real solution is to get government out of money entirely and allow free-market competition between currencies like gold, silver, and Bitcoin.
If Trump really wants to fix the economy, he should go beyond criticizing the Fed and take meaningful action:
- Pass the Audit the Fed bill to expose the central bank’s backroom deals and hidden bailouts.
- Legalize alternative currencies like gold, silver, and crypto so Americans have an escape hatch from the dollar’s slow-motion collapse.
- End the Fed’s monopoly on money creation and allow free-market interest rates to emerge.
None of this will happen overnight. The political and banking elite have spent over a century entrenching this corrupt system. But you don’t have to wait for Washington to fix it—you can take action to protect yourself today.
