Tishwash:  An economic lesson for the next prime minister

Dr. Bilal Al-Khalifa

After the Great Depression of 1932, which hit the world and America, US President Roosevelt, succeeding Herbert Hooper, issued a decision two days after taking office to declare a bank holiday and close all banks. This was on March 6, 1933.

Then he issued Executive Order No. 6102 on April 5, 1933, which is the most exceptional of executive orders, written in dry language and included.

I, Frank Delano Roosevelt... pronouncing the existence of patriotism... prohibit persons and principal partnerships within the United States... from hoarding gold water, gold bullion, and gold-backed securities... and I require consequently that all persons surrender on the first of May 1933 or earlier to any Federal Reserve Bank... or to any Reserve Reserve Member all gold coins, bullion, and legal tender securities in gold... and whoever willfully violates this Executive Order... shall be fined not more than ten thousand dollars... or imprisoned for a term not exceeding ten years.

In summary, the people must endure and accept the difficulty of the decision and hand over the gold to the government, otherwise they will be punished. For your information, this decision is political suicide for the following reasons.

1- Because it included a threat of imprisonment and a fine for those who violate it

2- Because the price of gold rose after this, it was a loss for people.

Finally

3- The citizen will refrain from electing him and his party for the next term.

America has succeeded in overcoming the crisis, therefore we need a prime minister in the next government who does not think about how to win votes in the upcoming elections, but rather focuses on the economic recovery of Iraq. Economic improvement means social, political, and security improvement.  link
