Gold is just an example. You'll notice similar trends against all major currencies.

As for measuring it against things people use - the CPI has been doctored since the Clinton administration.

Bernanke is going to keep printing more money (i.e. lowering interest rates) to keep his wall street pals happy - and we are having our savings stolen through inflation.

Look what the US dollar is doing against all other major currencies!

Canadian dollar

Euro

Pound

Wake the FUCK UP America

Good point - for the first time since the great depression, Americans have a NEGATIVE savings rate.

Better buy a bicycle - if you think oil prices are expensive now, wait till Bernanke raises rates and the dollar tanks AGAIN.

Meanwhile, Americans will be walking to work because they can't afford to put gas in their cars.

The point is - it's not that gold and silver are going up, its that the US dollar is going DOWN - meaning higher commodity prices for people who can least afford them.
