International Money

Status Quo Option: Keep the Existing Plank. For all platform categories
we have the option of doing nothing; that is accepting what the LP already
has.

The LP Platform Currently Reads
The Issue: The federal government's
involvement in international currency markets undermines the stability of
the dollar, artificially inflates and deflates the currency and undermines
the free market.
The Principle: Individuals voluntarily
trading in free markets should be the only determining factor in the value
of goods and services
Solutions: The government involvement
in international money markets along with the Federal Reserve System should
cease, and private sector trading should be the only influence in the value
of money.
Transitional Action: The United States
must withdraw from all international paper money and other inflationary credit
schemes, and from the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. We strongly
oppose any bailout of foreign governments or American banks by the United
States, either by means of the International Monetary Fund or through any
other governmental device.
[If you think the current LP position on this subject is acceptable, then
vote "yes" below. If not, vote "no" below. Either way, please consider the
other options listed on the right sidebar and vote "yes" for all that you
like and "no" for all that you dislike. This is an approval vote; you get
to vote for all of the options that you like.]
