If you want to blame someone Richard Nixon devalued the US currency twice and started high inflation probably before you were born.

But you don't understand credit and money -- the debt ratio of the USA is better than most countries. Research over the past 50 years of GNI, GDP and US federal debt. I am not going to do it for you.

It is not that bad if you consider the currency devaluation after Nixon abandoned Bretton Woods -- gold had been $38

  1. Gold was $38 in 1971 it's $1327 today
  2. $1 in 1971 is worth $0.17 today
  3. The DJIA high in ws 950 1971 it's 18500 today

When I look at FOREX I have to say that the US Dollar is the best of the worst.
