<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1616049, member: 26302&quot;]I never talked about relative devaluation of the dollar versus a person&#039;s salary, nor do I dispute the fact that it IS declining. I am just amazed when I read people talking all doomsday about the dollar, knowing the devaluation was much worst in the 70&#039;s and 80&#039;s, but to hear them talk you would think its unprecedented.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also talking about not being unprecedented, I remember tons of people in the same timeframe saying we would NEVER be able to pay off the debt. Same same to me. As for hyperinflation, IDK. Could be, but I would bet more strongly on simply a &quot;haircut&quot; being imposed on Treasury bond holders ala Greece. That I believe would be deflationary. Or it could be a combination of inflationary and deflationary pressures puts us back around where we are now. Way too many variables for me at least to clearly see the outcome. Given that, I simply diversify and try to pay off debt and build assets of all sorts.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe I am just simple and cannot understand the arguments clearer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
