When exactly did you see your parents go through hyperinflation?
1946. My mom and grandparents lived on a farm so they were mostly immune, that is until the "benevolent" government issued a mandate to force them to surrender a portion of their slaughtered chicken and pigs to the local comrade commissar. A neighbor was to sell his land, but the currency changed so quickly that the deal was null and void in 2 days time.
ETA: The year above was corrected.

Yeah, he could get congress to eliminate crop subsidies. That would go over big in the farm states, NOT! I don't believe the fed has any influence whatsoever on crop prices.
You can believe what you like. Personally, I don't believe that a bear craps in the woods and you can't convince me otherwise.
Unemployment any worse now than then?
I know Rah rahs cannot abide the idea that things aren't really getting better,for whatever reason they have....
We were losing 700 000 jobs per month back then, so I'd say things are a heck of a lot better now, considering we just gained 300 000 in Decenber. That is a differnece of PLUS 1 MILLION per month.
That would make Summer73 pretty old to have been there to see that. There was no hyperinflation in US in 1946.
I wasn't there personally, that's why I had the year wrong initially. I just recently learned about this story last year because I knew from my read history they went through it and I inquired.
But, but, but.....Obama promised to help the poor and middle class. What's going on? This isn't helping them. Where is the CHANGE???????????
Hee Hee Hee Hee....this IS the change. By the way what is the meaning of is? Let's ask Bill I'm sure he knows.
