If you think that isn't so, then tell me what makes a gallon of gas worth more today, at $3+, than when it sold for 25 cents.

Let's see here . . . thumbing through notebook . . . inflation, demand, supply, regulation, taxes . . . .

Not a bad answer...if I'd asked why gasoline costs more today than when it sold for 25 cents a gallon. But, of course, I didn't ask why it costs more, I asked why it's WORTH more.

When you can understand the difference between "cost", and "worth", then perhaps you'll understand why I have no confidence in cheerleader's glowing economic reports.
