No, it means going down to the mall with a 50 and seeing what you can

Isn't that the way the welfare recipients gauge their wealth?

That's how sensible people measure the value of their currency. It's
worth
what you can buy with it, no more and no less. That's all any money has
ever
been worth.

If your $50s are worth less, send them all to me, and I'll even send you
$20
worth of gold for each one.


Then, we must be in total agreement. Because I have always claimed the
cost of everything has always remained the same -- didn't you get the part
about one ounce of gold buying a nice suit during the gold rush (and
before, simply name a year), and it will still buy that same nice suit
today!

So we have a deal? You send me all the $50s you can, and I'll send you $20
worth of gold, at current prices, for each one. How many do you want to send
me?


Only a false "money" like the dollar throws off all computations, but
then, fiat money is that way ...

Well, don't let it confuse you. It's a $50 in worthless fiat money from you
to me, and $20 in nice, shiny gold from me to you. I'll take all the $50s
you can scrape up.


I just pointed this out, again, with explaining that a dollar was worth
1/50th of a troy ounce of gold in ~1960, and that today the dollar is
worth 1/1487th of a troy ounce of gold. The value of the gold DID NOT
change, the value of the worthless money did ...

Ok. How much of that worthless money do you want to send me for nice, shiny
gold?



Funny, but I strongly suspect there is reason you state that, and not
the
reason you intended ... it is called "reading between the lines."

I strongly suspect you have a few screws loose.


I am absolutely certain you are, how many times have I had to explain the
exact same thing to you, and I doubt you have gotten it yet!

You've repeated yourself ad nauseum, but you haven't explained anything. You
just bloviate.



Next you will jump up and claim you are a college educated
liberal/democrat/welfare-bum/intellectual/etc.

I'm a registered Republican and have been for decades. That is, a *real*
one, not some freaking libretardian or teabagger.


Then you are just a kook and it transcends the imagined party
definitions/names fools name/give each other ...


We don't like those kind either ...

You and the other inmates?


Yes, just one of the inmates of the obama-prison, ran by the head obamacon
himself! A fully functional sock puppet of the shadow government ... and
a harsh prison master to live under!

Watch out, Big Nurse is on her way, and she's not happy with you.


I give up ... await the future, the real lesson is there ... what will
be, will be, a rose by any other name, still a rose ... we are just
dealing with government turds, such as obama, himself, a rose would be
nice ...
