Why Are Things Unaffordable?

The reason things cost more is that your money has less value, not because the items are less valuable.

Since the nation created the Federal Reserve and fractional reserve banking, the value of your 1913 dollar has decreased by over 96%. That means the steak your dollar bought in 1913 will now cost $32; the steak did not grow in value; your money decreased in value.

That’s why gold and silver are “skyrocketing.”

Their value isn’t going up, but the dollar is going down.
