oh, the price might go up... that doesn't mean it'll be worth more.

although it may look like my home value dropped to 50% of what it was in 2006, in real world buying power, it is now 16-20% of what it was in 2006.

the dems and progressives have done a real job on the people of the US

do the math yourself. check out zillow.com for your home value over the passed 5 yrs. plug those values in, calculate the value in terms of ounces of gold and silver... and you'll see how much you've lost

update:
how much exactly?

denomination	# ounces	market value ($)
gold	619	898,788
silver	40,403	1,618,140.15

You are so right, and few people realize this. Most people will cheer when their home “price” (and that of the Dow) are back where they expected them to be, never mind that inflation will be the reason, not increased value.
