RE: "Every dollar they print devalues the dollars you have in your wallet. The day of reckoning will come no matter who is elected."

I know. I remember when it happened the last time.

I believe that our W.W.II debt was paid off with the help of inflation.. I remember back then when a loaf of bread was $0.25, a hair cut $0.75, and a cold glass bottle of Coca-Cola out of a machine was a nickel -- and just today I saw an ad for a 2013 VW Beetle lease: $1,999 up front and $299 / month. In 1968 I bought a brand new VW beetle for $1,999!

We'll survive.. unless things get out of hand like in the Weimar Republic. :)
