russ, interest rates at around 2% to 3% a year do not justify holding paper currencies v. a solid real currency if one exist. Even that many see gold as the ultimate store of value, I also question this approach for a variety of reasons, one being the fact that you can not exchange it as easily as paper currencies. My post to you referred to the fact that more and more prices are relative to perception and I question the fact that the USD will collapse in the near future for the mere reason that paper money is highly manipulated by obscure and powerful forces beyond our own logic or justification. I slowly came to the conclusion that there is not one honest bone in all the members of the US Fed or for that matter most if not all CB's and bankers in general. They are all bend to manipulation for their own good to one degree or another on the expense of others. During the last century politics and finances have joint forces to survive on the expense of hard working people. What the 21st century is bringing us is a whole new concept of legalized corruption, swindle of the masses and thievery by an elected few who jostled for their place in office at our expense. Living proof of the grand swindle are the social benefits promised to, and paid by, us as we grow older, including Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. AG made it clear that he cares less if the real value of those service turn into the value of smoke and supported fake IOU's and a fake CPI measure to rob us of our savings to old age. That is why there is such a “desire” to “serve the nation” by various individuals to enable them to rob their own citizenry for their own benefits..... and the phenomen is not exclusive to the US Only when a FED, or Congress, or White House or Dept. of State etc. will be able to function not from budgets derived from fees or income taxes but from voluntary donation I would moderate my view
