Simon Dixon said, “We need more politicians who understand sound money to weather what comes next for our economy.”
To overcome the next thing to our economy, more politicians who understand healthy money are needed. Nobody alive today experienced a true gold standard, so it takes someone who knows financial history to fight for sound policies today. Further inflation cannot solve inflation. https://t.co/f4KxuU9Okd
