It's worth less than 2% of what it was worth in 1913, and people still don't seem to have found out about it yet, so it's small wonder that the Feds think they can keep doing it indefinitely.
The other night I was watching a show on Food TV, I believe it was a Rachel Ray vacation show, and they had her in an ice cream and malt shop that was about 100 years old. On the wall they had advertisements from the original days of the ice cream shop that showed the prices from way back then, and she actually mentioned something along the lines of while the prices have gone up, the ice cream is just as good, and for $2.75 you can get a single scoop (as opposed to the .10 single scoop that they advertised)!
I guess people just see price increases as something natural, without any sort of cause. It just happens, like how your lawn grows.

Foreign countries who deal with us are getting wise to that situation.
Other countries have to look at us and wonder.
Katrina, 9-11, the war in Iraq,increasing Govt spending, a 150 billion dollar rebate suggested, running a welfare country to boot.
Where the hell are the Americans getting all that money and still maintaining such high lifestyle,with no cutbacks in Federal spending. ???
You don't think the Americans are just printing the money do you??? - tom
