Over the last three years, gold has more than doubled, and silver has more than tripled. Grocery prices have increased, but by much less -- low double-digits. Durable goods, same story.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sure, in general, dollars are worth less with the passage of time. But that was true even when the dollar was backed by gold and silver.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
