We showed this chart to someone and they remarked, "Oh good, the dollar is stabilizing."
This is a year over year chart of the change in the dollar, expressed in percents.
What this chart shows is that the US dollar is locked into a nice, steady annual decline of about 12%.
That's 12% annual decline. That means you need to MAKE a 12% return on those dollar assets just to break even.
It should also give you some idea of where the rate of monetary inflation is, and its not at the headline core rate put out by the propeller heads at the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Behind the concrete, the visible events, behind all the objective, logical considerations, we find the struggle against evil, against the servants of the antichrist. Everywhere and always demonic powers lurk in the dark, waiting for the moment when man is weak. When he yields to the forces of evil, he separates himself from the power of a higher order; after taking the first step, he is driven on and on to the next and to the next, at a furiously accelerating rate.
