a.) - not sure where your information came from to pose that fluctuation was worse from 1919 - 1970 vs. 1970 -present but lets assume you are factually correct there:

I have to admire your perseverance.

You think asking a bunch of Chicago school supply siders and Keynesians is going to convince anyone? That's like asking Baptists and Evangelists what their thoughts are on God not Existing.

Wrong, that's a nonsense defense. The amount of gold is inconsequential. All you (or any 5th grade student) would need to do is determine the price. Its easy math. Define money [Is it M1, M2, M3?] and divide it by the amount of gold you have in ounces based on whether or not you want 100% reserves, 40% reserves, 20%,…

Nothing says "inferior" more than blatent brand imitation

How many times could Ferrari or Lamborghini say they accept "DRUGS" as a means of payment for their cars? Sure we won't take your briefcase of coke, but if you exchange it for a briefcase of cocaine cash, then we'll take that!

No, you're absolutely right. Who wouldn't prefer the value of their money to decrease and subsequently pay higher prices for goods vs. having an honest monetary system tied to something fixed and not manipulated. Your trust in politicians and bureaucrats is the real joke.

I'd bring comedy to the table too if I didn't have facts. Nice job!

Not only could I say the exact same thing, I have! No disagreement from me there.

1. shadowstats.com - or simply use the old formulas Govt used to use before they started realizing that people were catching on to the absurd devaluation since Nixon's brilliant closing of the gold window.

This new 2015 Mustang looks sweet.

whooooaa !!! double rainbow!

now adjust that for inflation (the real inflation figures) and its a huge loss.

which is why their company is inevitably fucked since they can't or won't stay above water if the US Govt can't maintain a debt that the rest of the world will eventually stop subsidizing.

because it was that much of a piece of shit company. only in america do we reward the bad companies with cash .... and punish the successful ones by taking more and more cash from them via higher taxes.

But we had BOTH! Thats like saying... well I would rather have the dick in my ass vs. my mouth as you're getting double teamed by both your bunk mates.

What? the Govt fucked me in the ass again? Oh well glad I lost all feeling in there anyway because the lube is all gone.

Zoom'ed into the photo, I don't see where on those lights it says that.

Less than the cost of buying the same exact Lotus here in the States?

I wonder if he realizes he's destroying the planet one breath at a time.
