If this "value        dropping" thing is correct, then I have a question. Let me first say that,       I'm just a, what you might call, lowly peon citizen who has never been to       college and who works at the fuel island of a Kroger grocery store. Also, I       have never been outside of        the "lower 48", as it's said, U.S. states, and I probably never will be; I       have NO need or reason to. Here's my question: If the government ever DOES       print more money and the value of the U.S. dollar does drop, can I still take       the money that I get and        pay my rent and bills, buy groceries, keep good repair clothes and shoes on       hand, and have some cable t.v. and internet entertainment? If yes, then WHY       should and/or do I care if/that the value of the U.S. dollar drops. Thank you.              You received some good answers to your money question. Here is       another good explanation at https://www.econ.iastate.edu/node/673              Les              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
