   drop.  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
