Did you know 2 dimes worth of silver would buy a gallon of gas in 1920?

Question

And that 2 dimes worth of silver now will buy a gallon of gasoline?

The reason gas is high is because of quantitative easing policies of Obama, print more money, devalue the dollar, and gas costs more.

It isn't going back down, sorry.  The damage is done.

You are correct. The price of gas has not gone up. The value of the money has gone way down.

You are an idiot. Obama has no control over gas prices. Bush had no control over gas prices.

That was a long time ago. But thanks for sharing. 
It motivates me to return to the days of yesteryear.

I think in your zeal to make pretend points, you've vastly over estimated the actual amount of silver in a silver dime.
