..now that is a subject worth having a discussion about! When I examine the situation the US economy is in (not to mention all the countries which have followed along with the US), I keep having to ask myself; What is the standard of value?
We had gold to tie the dollar back to until Nixon... Not that I would advocate doing so again, but I think we are more comfortable with contrived systems(like the economy) when we can anchor it to something physical. I am at least. How about the calorie? We seem to value them a lot in this country! :-) Just a thought....
