<i>None</i> of those claims are backed up by actual evidence.  I pointed directly to a graph of the CPI which explicitly shows the dollar is only inflating by a few points each year and most recently (when the largest amount of noise was coming out of people's faces about gold) the dollar was actually in a deflation period and getting more valuable.<p>There may be flaws with the CPI-U data, but I don't know of a better data source.  Feel free to point one out.<p>Until you do however, the data we've explored in this thread directly contradicts all of your assertions, despite their popularity among some.
