That might be the scale of it, $1 == 1 grain of rice. But.... another article I was reading the other day talked about global debt (of which the US Fed has a large part in creating), being estimated at $1.4+ QUADrillion!!! I’m thinking that one will require $1 == 1 grain of sand on the beach. (Get your shovel & bucket out in either case!)
If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent they conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.

"A measure of wheat for a penny! A measure of wheat for a penny! But touch not the oil and the wine!"
PS, the "poor" used oil and wine. In other words, "Touch not the government dependents free stuff."
I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but the freeloaders aren't being asked to sacrifice one damn thing.
