One last thought on riding things down to zero:
That chart is typical of those who know little about monetary systems or they do and are trying deceive the guillble.
“this means that one dollar in 1700 was worth approximately 63 times more than it is today. “
Do you understand that people don’t get paid the same number of dollars today per week or hour as in 1700? Do you realize how many more dollars people get for assets like land or buildings or commodities than in than in 1700? That silly chart only proves your point about the dollar going to zero if people got the same dollars as in 1700. THEY DON’T.
