"Barrels of oil per dollar in blue, Euro in red and ounce of gold in purple."
Here i dont know how to make it more clear.
Prices on anything havent changed. Your dollar has just lost its value.
If you flew to the middle east and Bought a barrel of Oil with 1 ounce of gold the same 1 ounce of gold can get you the same amount of oil.
How obvious does this need to be, may i add that paper currency isnt even allowed in the consitution.
The reason stuff costs more is cause they keep printing more dollars.
