“You could look at a chart, or you could listen to the whir of the printing press. Your choice”.
...exactly! We’re printing enough money to place us in the same position as Germany in the 20’s. Worthless. We’ll probably lose our AAA rating in the next 2 years as well. On the other side of the coin, what do you do with gold if paper money becomes worthless?
Ummm, use it as what it really is: Money.
