I'm with you.
There are valid arguments on the other side, though. Look at the car you bought in 1975 to the one you get now...100K miles without a tune-up is no problem. Same with a pair of running shoes (except the mileage). And I'm not paying much more for a pair of Levi's now than I did in high school. In general, however, I think I agree with you.

So...if one assumes this short-term indulgence will come home to roost, in whose interest is it to distort this information?

Most importantly, where is the safe haven when the whip comes down? I follow some of what you discuss regarding gold but I don't understand the intrinsic value. If the whole system throws a rod, why will gold be a good vehicle?

Thanks again
