If you add up the percents which are highlighted in red, you can see that they add up to about 2,125% inflation.

If you go here: http://www.usinflationcalculator.com/
You can see that $1 from 1913 = $22.05 today; thus, 2,105% inflation.



NOW, it only took Zimbabwe 25 years to get to this point.
So, comparing the US to Zimbabwe (looking at Zimbabwe as a small-scale version of the US)...
Does anyone else think we are headed for Zimbabwe 2006, 2007, 2008?

NOTE: If you go by the scale of the 25 years it took for Zimbabwe to get where we are in 97 years, it would take approximately 12 years for us to get to Zimbabwe 2008.

MY THOUGHTS: Considering all the reports about what will happen to the US debt in the next decade, I do not find this impossible.


WHAT DO YOU THINK? Is that home that the dollar will eventually find itself? :(
Hold on to your Silver and Gold, people...

I don't think it will be as bad as Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe is a land locked country that has to import just about everything. Then again, if Obama enacts land reform here, all bets are off the table.
