One of my favorites from Sesame Street, Kermit the Frog, always said, “It’s not easy being green”. If money could talk, I think every American dollar would be singing that song today. The dollar has suffered a great deal. It’s value continues on a very rocky road. Some are claiming the eventual collapse of the dollar.
The dollar has struggled ever since Nixon took us off the gold standard back in 1971. The green paper that you carry around is not the same as it was way back when. But the price of gold and silver always goes up when the dollar falls down.
