States Lead the Charge Toward Sound Money
As inflation eats away at purchasing power and central banks rely on endless money printing, a growing number of U.S. states are turning to sound money strategies. Lynette Zang recently addressed this powerful shift on her YouTube channel, spotlighting Utah and other states that are reviving the use of gold and silver as legal tender. This isn’t just a trend. It’s a necessary correction rooted in the U.S. Constitution and long overdue.
Dr. Ron Paul: The Constitution Calls for Gold and Silver
Lynette opened the conversation by citing the wisdom of Dr. Ron Paul, a relentless advocate for monetary truth. According to the Constitution, states are not allowed to print money. Instead, they are instructed to use only gold and silver as legal tender. That responsibility was ignored when the U.S. abandoned the gold standard entirely in 1971. Since then, the dollar has lost about 95 percent of its value.
The result has been a consistent destruction of the middle class. While banks and corporations profit from newly printed money, regular people are left paying higher prices with devalued dollars. As Dr. Paul put it, sound money means less government control. Big government thrives on deception, fraud, and monopoly. That includes controlling money and manipulating perception.
A System Designed to Fail the Public
Lynette highlighted how modern monetary policy punishes savers and working families. Since 2020, the federal deficit has exploded. The government’s only tools are interest rates and money printing. Every time new money is created, the value of existing currency declines. In 2024, deficit spending is already on pace to rival levels seen in the peak pandemic years.
This is no accident. Inflation and debt are the tools used to transfer wealth from the public to the powerful. Officials may claim they don’t know what causes inflation, but their actions suggest otherwise. The public is left with hollow reassurances while the real value of their money disappears.
A Growing Movement: 23 States Taking Action
One of Lynette’s viewers asked for an update on state-level efforts to reintroduce gold and silver as legal tender. The momentum is strong. At least 23 states are actively developing legislation to legalize these precious metals for everyday use.
Recent highlights include:
- Alaska passed a bill making gold and silver legal tender.
- Arizona, a pioneer since 2017, is now working to establish a bullion depository and transactional gold-backed currency.
- Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Tennessee, and Wisconsin are advancing similar efforts, moving from legislation to infrastructure and implementation.
Some states are also eliminating capital gains taxes on precious metals. These moves not only legitimize gold and silver as money, but also eliminate tax penalties that discourage their use.
Bullion Vaults: Infrastructure for a New System
In addition to passing laws, states are building physical vaults to store gold and silver. These vaults serve both government and individual needs. They allow residents to hold tangible assets safely and enable the state to protect reserves against federal currency risk.
This movement is reminiscent of how states pushed back against federal marijuana laws. The federal government resisted, but the overwhelming momentum at the state level eventually forced change. Lynette believes a similar battle is playing out today with sound money. And this one has even higher stakes.
Wisconsin: A Case Study in Grassroots Success
Wisconsin became the 44th state to eliminate sales taxes on gold and silver purchases. This came after a strong wave of public support. According to Lynette, this proves that grassroots pressure works. Communities that unite around sound money can make a real difference.
This isn’t just about legislation. It’s about challenging the monopoly of central banks and rejecting a system that constantly devalues savings. When states protect their financial future with physical gold and silver, they reclaim their sovereignty. Individuals must do the same.
The Hyperinflation Trap
The Federal Reserve claims its inflation target is 2 percent. At that rate, the dollar loses half its value every 35 years. But during 2021 and 2022, inflation soared to 8 percent or more. Families struggled to meet basic needs, let alone save for retirement.
Lynette believes we’ve already entered the hyperinflationary phase. Central banks need to inflate away their unpayable debt. It’s the only way to reset the system and start over. That’s why physical gold and silver are so important. They allow you to take advantage of the same strategies used by central bankers—paying off liabilities with increasingly worthless currency while preserving real wealth.
If Every State Adopted Gold and Silver...
What would happen if all 50 states declared gold and silver legal tender? According to Lynette, the Federal Reserve would become unnecessary. The monopoly would break. True financial freedom would become possible again.
