Luckily, I listened to experienced writers and read Scientific Advertising as one of my first books on copywriting. It remains one of the best books on the profession I have read. Fundamental truths never go out of fashion. They endure the test of time and surpass all fads and trends. Thanks for the reminder.

And I'm with you in principle, except that there <em>was</em> inflation prior to the establishment of the Fed. The chart you sent actually shows it well... with the five years between 1907 to 1913 showing a considerable dollar decline. Here's another inflation calculator I just found that actually <em>does</em> give pre-1913 numbers, but only goes to 2007, which means it misses a lot of the latest dollar damage. http://www.westegg.com/inflation/infl.cgi Either way, the bottom line reply is that, yes, dollars have really taken a pounding... and worse, the incentive for the Fed (cheap dollars to spur fake economic growth and to pay down debt) is exactly juxtaposed to the interests of savers and our exploding population of retirees.

Thanks for the chart.
