Marsha, By "making money" I mean producing goods and services others willingly pay for in a free market. You can also make money by loaning money to others either directly or indirectly as investments. As for the U.S. Treasury, you are absolutely right. They used to make money backed by a commodity like silver or gold. Now they just print it without any backing whatsoever. As a result, you have seen your savings decrease in value through no fault of your own. Inflation is the government's way of robbing you blind without penalty.
