Never mind the fact that the dollar's purchasing power (by many accounts) is now at four cents compared to 1913 levels.
That's not true -- can you back that up please? Whose accounts? Do you know how purchasing power is computed?

The only reason I ask all that is because, for you to consider that statement even remotely credible, you have to have no idea of what's behind purchasing power.

Our purchasing power has declined in the past two years, but not by much, certainly not to FOUR CENTS AGAINST A 1913 DOLLAR, most of it driven by oil price-gouging.
