In today's economy, the same Federal Reserve Note that could be exchanged for 10 loaves of bread, only has enough "exchange value" to trade it for approx 1/3 of a loaf. It's not limited to bread. Over the past 40 years alone, the increase in the number of Federal Reserve Notes required to exchange for groceries in general has increased anywhere from 150% to 1,100%. So what happened to the price of bread and groceries?We'll...nothing really. But SOMETHING definitely did change. We'll get to and pinpoint exactly what that change was as well as HOW and WHY things changed so dramatically in just a minute. First let's fast forward from 1937 to 1962 and see what took place 25 years later.and look at the ENORMOUS changes in the exchange value of Federal Reserve Notes since between 1937 and 1962. If you think the cost of groceries was a BIG change and you find it unsettling, you might want to sit down and prepare yourself for the next FACT. Let's fast forward from 1937 to 1962 and look at the what the manufacturers suggested retail price of a new 1962 Chevy Impala SS was in 1962, vs the current MSRP of a 2014 Impala 2LTZ.
On the surface, it "seems as if" the 2014 Impala 2LTZ is A LOT more expensive. Sure, today's Impala 2LTZ has many neat new gadgets and some amazing technologies have been created and added to automobiles since 1962. No doubt that cars have more frills and more technology than they did, but do you honestly believe that a price increase of 1,200% was necessary to own the same Model of vehicle that could be acquired in 1962? Does that really make sense? I mean REALLY? Think about it. In 1913 the cost for the 1962 Impala would have been $1,135.88. That's a 67.2% inflation rate. In comparison, in 1913 dollars, the 2104 Impala would have cost $1,730.73 equating to an "inflation rate" of 95.8%. In the last 10 years alone, what WAS $100.00 in 2004 only has an "exchange rate" of $79.40 today resulting in a 20.6% "inflation rate" in that short 10 year time frame. NOT enough to justify a
The answer is NOTHING happened to the "price" of bread, groceries, cars, homes, or ANYTHING else for that matter. What REALLY happened (and continues to happen) is a DEVALUED currency...aka INFLATION TAX. The definition of DEVALUATION according to Merriam Webster Dictionary is... 1: an official reduction in the exchange value of a currency by a lowering of its gold equivalency or its value relative to another currency 2: a lessening especially of status or stature The paper money (Federal Reserve Notes or WHATEVER you countries "paper fiat currency" might be called) have DECLINED in value making it necessary to exchange, at BEST, 24.03 of the same 1 dollar Federal Reserve Notes in 2014 to receive the same exchange value for the goods and services they could be exchanged for in 1913. That's a 2,403% Increase in the number of Federal Reserve Notes needed to trade for the SAME amount of goods and services!!To receive the same value as was received in 1937, 16.52 of the VERY SAME Federal Reserve Notes in 2014 for what 1 single Federal Reserve Note COULD BE exchanged for in 1937.
In the last 75 years ALONE, the "COST" incurred by every individual GLOBALLY who depends on and exchanges "paper currency" for goods and services is HUGE.The consistent and long term erosion and devaluing of our currency has resulted in a 1200% PLUS increase in the number of paper dollars required to exchange for the SAME, or similar goods and services that COULD be and were acquired in 1937 with FAR FEWER Federal Reserve Notes. That's the price we've paid for depending on, using and continuing to allow a fiat currency to exist as our "medium of exchange", namely Federal Reserve Notes aka "paper money" Put simply, in 2014 it requires approx. 12 of your $1.00 Federal Reserve Notes just to match the "value" and purchasing power that the SAME $1 Federal Reserve Note held in 1937!!! The U.S. dollar itself has little difference cosmetically. Same paper, same ink, same printing presses, same process to print them. Although very little if anything about the dollar itself has changed, the EXCHANGE VALUE of today's dollar HAS changed. It's Exchange Value is DRAMATICALLY different...almost non-existent in fact. Worse, it seems as if the little "exchange value" the current Federal Reserve Note has left is becoming (and in the not so distant future, very well may become) extinct should it lose the little "value" it has left. So what happened to the Real Value of the dollar? A "Promise to Pay" is the ONLY Thing That Gives "Paper Money" ANY ValueThe FACT that it's necessary to exchange far greater amounts of "paper fiat currency" today to acquire the same quality and quantity of goods, products and services that lesser amounts could be exchanged for in the past, has led to a LOT of confusion and a HUGE MISUNDERSTANDING...a COSTLY misunderstanding that equates to a form of slavery. The Confusion and Misunderstanding Stems from MANY (Most Actually) Believing That, EVERYTHING is More Expensive Today than It Was in 1913, 1937 or 1962Let's clear up the confusion and ANY misunderstanding about "things" being ANY more expensive today than they were in years passed... Things are NOT any more "expensive" today than they were in 1913. Yes, it takes MANY MORE Federal Reserve Notes to exchange for things than in years passed. But, if you hold and were to USE a very secure and sound Real Money, that has had, does have and will continue to have "Real Intrinsic Value" as your "medium of exchange", you'd SEE that NOTHING is ANY more "expensive" than it once was.
Unlike GOLD and silver, both of which have a 5000 year history of retaining some form of Real Value, Federal Reserve Notes (paper money) have no "intrinsic value" whatsoever. They are created out of "thin air" and have ZERO backing with the exception of a "promise to pay." That's what the word "Note" in Federal Reserve Note means in "legal jargon"...a promise to pay. Our "belief in" that promise is THE ONLY thing that gives the "paper currency" that's in circulation today, ANY value at all. Based on the long history of "broken promises" by governments, it's not very "wise" to depend on a "promise" alone to ensure your livelihood. Gold doesn't require depending on a "promise" because it has "intrinsic value" just as it did 75 years ago. The promise of the "value" of GOLD is in it's history. A Promise Can Be Broken but the "Exchange Value" of a Hard Currency Such as GOLD, Has Held and Continues to Hold it's VALUE...RegardlessThe government that operates in whatever country you reside in "makes the promise" to back the money in that country. In COUNTLESS cases throughout history, when the "financial vehicle" utilized by ANY country or civilization is a "fiat currency", that promise to pay ENDS at some point. Put simply, throughout history, in 100% of the cases, when a fiat currency was utilized as a medium of exchange, the monetary system crashed and burnedThe "average life span" of a fiat currency system is 42 years. But the system they use (a private corporation made up of ELITE Bankers, called The Federal Reserve) which HAS enabled, DOES enable and will continue to enable juggling and manipulation of the entire GLOBAL monetary system making it "seem as if" (and to a degree "look as if") they're keeping their "promise to pay." For MANY years that "promise" has been kept in a sense. You can still trade the "paper currency" you earn for goods and services. But in another sense that same "promise" has diminished DRAMATICALLY. The appearance that the "original promise" is being "kept" has only been (and remains possible today) because the government "allows" the entire globes monetary system to be manipulated, the DEVALUATION of currency continues as the Federal Reserve continues "printing more PAPER dollars." There's a BIG Problem that stems from thatWhen you print MORE of something that is "supposed to be money", yet it has NO intrinsic value whatsoever, the more of it you print and the more "notes" that are created and released for circulation, the less VALUE they have and more DEVALUED those notes become. It's a VERY simple equation of "Supply and Demand." Increase the supply and the "perceived value" often referred to as "cost" comes down. That can be a great thing when you're on the buying end. But when you're on the value receiving end, it's anything but great. The citizens of the world (you and I included) aren't "receiving" anything good, let alone great under our current financial structure. What we ARE receiving is less "exchange value" for the same labor AND a dramatically diminished value when we "exchange" the paper currency we receive for the work we do (which has VERY LITTLE value) for the goods and services we need. Manipulating and DEVALUING an already DEVALUED "note" further, can (and currently does) result in a "promise to pay" seeming as if it's being carried out. The promise is being kept to a degree in one sense, yet in another it's a quickly "dwindling and diminishing promise" as the VALUE of the dollar continues to dwindle and diminish in VALUE. A "promise to pay" can't be kept by ANY government regardless of how things "seem" when the "thing" they're using as an "exchange of value" and promising to pay on, reaches the point where it has ZERO value. As the "exchange value" of the Federal Reserve Note (FRN) diminishes further, we still do the same amount of work for the notes we receive. But because of the "diminishing value" of those notes, we receive less value for the notes we receive and exchange, although the work we do to earn it remains the same or intensifies. It's much like "slave labor." Intense work is ALWAYS going to be a part of the future of those who continue to "work" and continue to accept and receive a "fiat currency" with diminishing value and FAR less purchasing power than it previously held. Same amount of work yet less reward and compensation for the SAME work = SERVITUDE. It doesn't matter what the numbers on your check SAY. What DOES matter is the "Exchange Value" of the paper dollars that those numbers imply that you're receiving. They can be deceptive and billions of "unaware" people GLOBALLY ARE being "deceived." What's more, if we continue to depend solely on the consistently declining exchange value of the "paper currency" we receive and exchange for the goods and services we purchase, the amount of goods and services "exchanged for" must be diminished as well. When the "value" diminishes, what we receive in the way of value diminishes. That is why Federal Reserve Notes look the same and in FACT ARE the same since the Federal Reserve took "control" of the money supply in 1913. Although they "appear as being the same", they have LOST 98% of their ORIGINAL Value, resulting in a 98% reduction in Purchasing Power since 1913. Although MOST people think that goods and services purchased today cost more than they did in 1937, they don't. Granted, it "seems as if" things are more expensive...especially when you make the really BIG purchases like homes and cars. They're NOT any more expensive but it DOES take MANY MORE Federal Reserve Notes to exchange for them than in the past. In the case of cars and houses...A LOT more.
Let's take a REALLY close look at what's REALLY happened...The graph below shows the rate of DECLINE of the "value" of the dollar between 1913 and 2007. As you can see, it's a HUGE decline. While it's true that MOST people think prices for groceries, cars, homes, etc. have gone up, in MOST cases prices haven't gone up at all. The VALUE of the paper dollar that we "exchange for" these goods and services has DECLINED by 98%. SAME Dollar with FAR LESS "exchange value"...a whopping 98% DECREASE in Value in fact since 1913?
The VERY SAME Dollar that you and I exchange our value for and then use to feed, clothe and house our families, and it NOW has 98% LESS buying power than it did when "the promise to pay" was first made. Initially that "promise" was made when the "paper dollars" received were backed by a commodity with "intrinsic value." The commodity that was once used to KEEP the value of our currency in check was gold and silver.
For the sake of time and brevity, we won't cover ALL of the FACTS regarding how our current monetary system came into existence or how it all works here in this article. But I will say due to the way it ISN'T working, finding an "alternative" would be a wise choice. The bottom line is this...
The SAME Federal Reserve Note that COULD be (and was) exchanged for a FULL $1.00's worth of goods and services in 1913 has only retained .02 cents worth of it's original value and "buying power".
