Friend, what year is it?
 |
Is it 1933? 1973?
No? Then why has Judy Shelton, Donald Trump’s latest nominee for the Federal Reserve Board, publicly advocated for a return to the gold standard?
The United States effectively stopped tying the value of our money to gold in 1933 and completely abandoned what was left of the gold standard system in 1973.
If nominated, Shelton would also politicize the historically non-partisan Federal Reserve Board. She’s called for an international monetary conference to be held at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, which would pad the president’s pockets at the expense of taxpayers.
Judy Shelton’s nomination to the Federal Reserve Board
must be withdrawn.

By her own words and deeds, Judy Shelton has disqualified herself from serving on the Federal Reserve Board. The Senate must oppose this reckless, dangerous nomination.
