Yes, we do see it differently, I get half as much gold for my goods and services down the road, is, IMHO, inflation, pretty soon, I'll need to give you truckloads of the same goods and services to get the same ounce of gold, and that is hyper inflation. Why it is so difficult to grasp that simple concept?
