Transferring Power to the People Of the many significant statements made by President Donald Trump in his inaugural address, I believe the following stands out:
It is indeed a noble goal, but the obvious questions arise. Is returning power to the people just a guide that President Trump will use for the decisions he makes as president? Or is it his aim to actually put power into the hands of the people? And if the latter, how do you transfer power from Washington D.C. and give it back to the people? I purposefully use the word “back” for this shift of power, not just because President Trump uses it. Rather, it does seem clear to me that in my nearly seven decades on this earth, power has shifted away from individual citizens to Washington D.C. It is the same phenomenon that was recognized shortly after World War II by a brilliant Congressman from Omaha, Nebraska, Rep. Howard Buffett, who happens to be the father of Warren Buffett. Unfortunately, Rep. Buffett was far ahead of his time, so few listened to his concerns and even fewer appreciated his wisdom when he addressed a group of businessmen on May 4, 1948. His words speak for themselves.
In other words, power flowed from the people to Washington. Rep. Buffett continues:
Thus, to transfer power back to the people, we know what President Trump needs to do. Allow gold and silver to circulate once again as currency by removing those impediments – like taxes – that hinder that outcome. To make America great again, President Trump needs to Make Money Great Again. He needs to follow Rep. Buffett’s advice, and I am therefore pleased to say that an initiative has already begun. President Trump needs to sign the Executive Order explained at www.MMGA.org It won’t be easy to restore sound money. As Rep. Buffett presciently warned with uncanny foresight:
The proposed Executive Order at www.MMGA.org is both an intelligent and peaceful solution to the re-establishment of sound money. It allows weights of gold and silver to circulate in parallel with dollars, which transfers power back to the people by restoring every individual’s right to choose the currency they would like to use. Rep. Howard Buffett’s May 4, 1948 is available here. I wholeheartedly recommend reading it.
