Stumbled across this image on wikipedia with the accompanying caption:

“Without a gold standard, governments can print as much money as they want, destroying wealth through inflation. A German woman in 1924 feeding a stove with currency notes, which burn longer than the amount of firewood they can buy.”

Is this where the US is heading? The markets aren’t safe, being subject to the immeasurable economic destruction wreaked by the planners. Savings accounts can be sucked dry by wreckless money printing.

Is there a safe investment for wealth? Land maybe?
