Being a victim of monetary policy is not a choice, playing the victim may be. So we should just all know that know matter what we’re going to get screwed and just go with it? Even if I use the info at hand and invest in such a way to make $$ off the mess, any $$ I make is still being devalued. I just see a no win situation for average Joe (or even above average Joe.) How does one stay ahead of a collapse of the dollar - except to live as much “off the grid” as possible? Can I tell my employer to pay me in something other than dollars? Can I spend anything other than dollars? The bad policy has been around for a while, but it is coming to a head and can’t go on forever. Some might benefit - most will get hosed.

So you are saying you wake up every morning, get dressed, take the kids off to school, grab a happy meal, go to work, pick up the kids, run to the store, go home and have dinner- all the while, that darn $20bill in your pocket is holding you back. If that $20 was based on gold versus the GDP, somehow, each day the sun would shine a little more, your kids would be less grumpy, your boss would like you more, work would be easier, and the food would taste better?

Are you really a victim of monetary policy or are you emotionally invested in believing you are a victim because you are constantly being told you are a victim of monetary policy?
