INFLATION - A technique to manipulate the value of currency that is used by our government to steal wealth from us.

Who remembers the Five and Dime stores like Woolwoth and Kesge?

Items that are $5.00 today were 5¢ and 10¢ back in the 1950s.

A dollar isn’t what it used to be, darn right….unless you take for instance our old silver Morgan and Peace dollars…now fetching anywhere from $30 to tens of thousands of $$$.

Put a US $1 paper Federal Reserve note in one hand, and a U.S. Peace or Morgan dollar in the other…..see which one you would rather own.

GREAT post. Thanks. I remember a pack of 5 baseball cards for a nickel with a flat piece of chewing gum inside.
