Is it 1938 all over again?
- We should be so lucky.
The minimum wage in 1938 was $0.25, now it is $7.25...a 29-fold increase.
Gold was $35 per oz. in 1938, as I write this it's over $1,800 per oz., let's see x29 = $1,015.
The first graph attached is the longest view of Gold I have yet seen. It illustrates currency debasement perfectly.
[For Keynesians: Why is it called 'debasement'? Because when it happens, 'de value of 'de dollar goes to 'de basement.]
The second graph is this concept flipped on it's head.
When you look at it, consider that Gold may very well surpass $2,000 per oz.
Upon the founding of the US, $100 would buy 5.16 oz of Gold. Now it buys 0.05405 oz. of Gold.
- This is very GOOD for Gold owners.
- This is extremely CRUMMY for Dollar owners.
It's already 'worse' than 1938, and it's going to deteriorate from here.

1938 was faced by tough Americans.
I'm dubious about the resilience of the current crop within our borders.
