The price of gold was $34.72 an ounce in 1950, the price of gold now is around $1600.00, a 46 ratio. Divide 46 by 7.5 and you find, based on the cost of gold that in 1950, prices were 6.1 times LOWER than now.

I would gladly turn this nation back to the 1950's, when gumchewing and talking were high crimes in school, not rape and murder, we as a Nation trusted God and people respected Morality instead of power and wealth.
