Ha, an ounce of Gold from 100 years ago is worth an ounce of Gold today.
A paper dollar from 100 years ago is worth at least 20 times what a current paper dollar is worth.
This country should dump the Federal Reserve and go back to a gold or commodity based standard, it would solve so many problems.
A dollar from 100 years ago is worth only 3 or 4 cents today. The rest has been silently stolen through central bank (Fed) caused inflation that has benefitted big banks (that own the Federal Reserve) and their friends.
