The dollar losing 94% of it’s value over the course of 80 years is not a problem. Most economists believe a small rate of inflation is helpful to the economy because it provides and incentive to people to invest instead of simply hoarding cash.
Over 80 years a small rate of inflation will add up. But the economy itself hasn’t been harmed. That small amount of inflation does not appear to have harmed our economy over the last 80 years.
If you hoarded cash 80 years ago, you have lost a lot of purchasing power. But if you invested in a diversified portfolio, you now have incredible purchasing power compared to 80 years ago.
The Ron Paul plan works only if you want to pursue the incredibly stupid economic goal of incenting people to hoard cash and not invest.
