What is the Real Value of the U.S. Dollar?, page 1

I've ordered my gadsden flag to fly under my American Flag this summer.

Why is there not a "LOG IN" button on the "Site Home" page?

In certain circumstances, the "recently posted" link doesn't work; I think it's due to the ads that are embedded.

For all those who think they're making money with the recent gains in the stock market, I have to ask a FUNDAMENTAL question..."What are you making in the stock markets, or through employment, for that matter?"

What is the REAL VALUE of a dollar?

And who dictates what the dollar is worth (I know the answer)?

The upswing on the charts look real purdy, but at the end of the day, what does it mean?

It's all just belief, almost like a religion.

Sad. America used to be the greatest country in the world, without question.

Google HJR-192 and tell us.

This line is for rhetorical astuteness.

Whatever the USA dollar is worth, it is still worth more than most other currencies.

In 1970, $1.00 from 2008 is worth:

$0.18 using the Consumer Price Index
$0.22 using the GDP deflator using the value of consumer bundle
$0.18 using the unskilled wage
$0.11 using the nominal GDP per capita
$0.07 using the relative share of GDP


In 1980, $1.00 from 2008 is worth:

$0.38 using the Consumer Price Index
$0.44 using the GDP deflator
using the value of consumer bundle
$0.39 using the unskilled wage
$0.26 using the nominal GDP per capita
$0.20 using the relative share of GDP

In 1990, $1.00 from 2008 is worth:

$0.61 using the Consumer Price Index
$0.67 using the GDP deflator
using the value of consumer bundle
$0.58 using the unskilled wage
$0.50 using the nominal GDP per capita
$0.41 using the relative share of GDP


In 2000, $1.00 from 2008 is worth:

$0.80 using the Consumer Price Index
$0.82 using the GDP deflator
using the value of consumer bundle
$0.79 using the unskilled wage
$0.74 using the nominal GDP per capita
$0.69 using the relative share of GDP

Does not look good if you ask me.

Thanks, Plucky.

Isn't it sad? I've copied a bit from your suggestion, and here's what it said:

Note: "payment of debt" is now against Congressional and "public policy" and henceforth, "Every obligation . . . Shall be discharged."

As a result of HJR 192, and from that day forward (June 5, 1933), no one in this nation has been able to lawfully pay a debt or lawfully own anything. The only thing one can do, is tender in transfer of debts, with the debt being perpetual. The suspension of the gold standard, and prohibition against paying debts, removed the substance for our common law to operate on, and created a void as far as the law is concerned. This substance was replaced with a "PUBLIC NATIONAL CREDIT SYSTEM" where debt is "LEGAL TENDER" money.

HJR 192 was implemented immediately. The day after President Roosevelt signed the resolution, the treasury offered the public new government securities, minus the traditional "payable in gold" clause.

The whole thing makes me sad in my soul.
