it only affects the people who save and use in US dollars, if benefits those who do not.
Even the leaches are losing ground. Except in numbers.
Almost all the commodities I have looked at have risen in lock step with inflation. Here is an example of gas pricing a few months back. The money we used before going off of the gold standard still holds its value and is something you can bank on. I remember the price of gas holding at around $.17 to $.25 for years when I was just starting out.
Only labor seems to be taking a hit. I remember making around $1.50 an hour loading watermelons. That was in the sixties. $1.50 in silver coins is worth about on $36.10 in todays market using this silver and gold calculator.

I'm now in skilled labor job that back in the sixties made considerably more than $1.50 an hour. I've had many years of experience but I'm still not earning what I was with summer work in high school.
When me and my friends do get a dollar together it can't compete with the counterfeiters money. No matter how much we could gather up to build the world the way we want they can print up what ever it takes to get their way.
Maybe take a look from now on how the global governments push their ideas through. Remember how they came at us with their health care plans? Did you catch the push for special benefits for an elite group to get benefits over and above what a regular citizen gets with the dream act? That one is still going on. If you say, "no" and manage to bring them to a halt, it still doesn't work. As soon as your busy doing something else or naked or something they rise up like those dead guys in the scary movies and are back at you until they get their way. They can afford to. They are using our own money against us and then stiffing us with the bill.
When they go to counterfeiting they don't just counterfeit 4% of your housing or 4% of this and that. They counterfeit the entire money supply for everything. Everything! Everything you and everyone owns has the value sucked out it.
Think of it simple like you own all of the gold and have all of the money represented and used to trade it. There is nothing and nobody else except the government and they have nothing. If they counterfeit and double the money supply they can then spend it at full value to buy all of your gold. Now the doubled money supply is in your hands. The gold in theirs. After the supply is doubled and in circulation the price to buy your gold back is also doubled. After you pay your capital gains you don't have enough to buy it back. And so it goes on over and over and the years go by. Not to mention you've also got the bill for the money they printed up to take your gold to pay off.
They do us all over and over until the globe of people is out on the street without even understanding what happened.
It's like we've been a frog in a pot of water with the heat slowly rising to a boil. Before we notice what is happening we're cooked.
P.S. If you think they would never counterfeit the entire money supply, like in the gold example above, take a look and embiggen the chart in the middle and below. It has been so many times over and over it is hard to guess at it. You can see on it during early times of war when they nearly doubled the supply to finance them. They then retired the fake money and the currency returned to something sound. I think they collected taxes and pretty much burned it when it came in. Could you imagine what it would take today?
