In this livestream Q&A, Miles Franklin CEO & President Andy Schectman explores the growing grassroots movement of states pushing back against federal monetary control and defending the constitutionally protected right to sound money.
As inflation and financial instability escalate, more states are stepping up to assert their sovereignty and protect their citizens from the consequences of decades of reckless fiscal policy.
Schectman discusses whether this movement could mark a turning point in the battle against the financial tyranny imposed since the Fed’s creation in 1913.
As inflation continues to bite and financial uncertainty looms large, a quiet revolution is brewing across the United States. A growing grassroots movement of states is pushing back against the long-standing grip of the federal government on monetary policy, asserting their sovereignty and defending the constitutionally protected right to sound money.
In a recent interview with Liberty and Finance, Miles Franklin CEO & President Andy Schectman delved into this burgeoning movement, exploring its potential to reshape the financial landscape. Could this be the turning point in the fight against the financial tyranny that, according to Schectman and many others, has been imposed since the Federal Reserve’s creation in 1913?
For decades, Americans have witnessed the erosion of their purchasing power as the Fed has printed money at will, fueling inflation and devaluing the dollar. Now, fueled by growing discontent, states are taking matters into their own hands, exploring alternative currencies, challenging tax laws related to precious metals, and demanding greater transparency in monetary policy.
Schectman highlights the significance of this movement. He argues that these states are not just reacting to the immediate pressures of inflation and financial instability, but are also asserting their constitutional rights.
The Constitution grants Congress the power to coin money and regulate its value, a power that many believe has been unlawfully delegated to the Federal Reserve.
The states are employing various strategies to reclaim control over their financial destiny.
Some are working to exempt gold and silver from state sales taxes, effectively recognizing precious metals as legitimate forms of currency. Others are exploring the feasibility of establishing state-backed digital currencies or alternative payment systems.
This movement is not just about economics; it’s about liberty and the future of American sovereignty. By challenging the Fed’s monopoly on money, these states are implicitly challenging the federal government’s overreach and demanding accountability from elected officials.
The fight for sound money and financial freedom is a long and challenging one. But the growing grassroots movement of states pushing back against federal monetary control offers a glimmer of hope.
By working together, Americans can demand accountability from their elected officials and reclaim control over their financial destiny, securing a more prosperous and stable future for themselves and their nation.
This movement, as Schectman suggests, could be the key to unlocking a new era of financial independence and limited government, paving the way for a return to the principles of sound money and individual liberty.
