<<Madness that comes from Your Love of Gold. >>

1st, it is not the love of gold, rather, it is the love of the free market & moreover that which was a request that those freedoms guaranteed us all resume, equal treatment & protection under the law.

2nd, why is it madness to request these basics?

L'shana tova to you and your family.
I think it is less costly now to go to Mcdonalds in
Germany and eat than it is here. I don't intend to fly over there to order Mcdonalds and find out, but if anyone else has done so or knows anyone that lives there it would be interesting to know . On conversion to us dollar it appears it is one dollar less there for a meal, than here.
If my figure is right than our dollar is losing value.

I am laughing at myself as i try to determine the value of the dollar based on a Mcdonalds chain. My son in Europe trying to eat a few years ago found this was the safest way to go and it use to be expensive compared to here.

Food is universal and maybe something so simple as this is a good way to determine just how strong our dollar will continue to be in the world of people buying power not balance sheets.
