You do realize that in citing historical information about the value of gold, in US dollars, when the dollar was still on the gold standard, is as circular an argument as you could make.
The value of gold has always fluctuated. Historically, it would even vary from place to place. That's the whole point of a market.
The rest of this nonsense about the value of things being measured the weight of the metals they are composed of...my God man...have you ever read a book on economics?

Additionally, where is the other thing of real value going? Land does not depreciate. Buildings yes, but not land. Land is not the dirt. Land is the right to do something with that dirt, and (with a few exceptions, such as not cutting water/sewer/power lines) the right to do what you like with anything in that plot from the core of the planet to the reaches of the sky. How many of us can profess to own land? Give this comment a thumbs up if you own land, free and clear, no lean, no mortgage.

I have wondered about the comparative value of things. The values I would like given a better comparison are the values of various salaries as compared to what you could purchase for (for instance) an hour's worth of work, and how this comparison has changed through the years. Can we afford less food for an hour's work than our predecessors? Wasn't the gold standard supposed to be the unit of measure by which the average layman like myself could compare these questions with ease?

lol I guess nobody made much as a gold trader between 1833 and 1930.

@KLisaLisa Actually, the Fed isn't killing the dollar because we don't have "dollars" anymore. Only promissory notes called "Federal Reserve Notes". The dollar is doing just fine - if we would only bring it back, and back it with tangible hard assets.

I think you did an excellent job explaining the truth. I also think people know that the simplest way to understand what is going on, is to pay attention to the fundamental rule of life. It says that generally, life only offers halves. One cannot expect to take out more than what was put in. The United States has tricked itself in to a dark side of reality. The good side is that people are waking up, finally.

Excellent, simple economics lesson. It's a shame that it isn't a "public service commercial", on TV every night! But- That would lead to an informed, very MAD, populace!
please see - Dollar in Danger- The Greatest Threat to America for an in depth explanation of the true issue facing america. national healthcare is not possible when we currently owe $53 trillion in debt- Democrats are insane to have this agenda and need to get there heads out of the sand republicans also we can NOT continue to occupy 130 countries and finance war!
