    What $100 is worth these days versus 3 years ago.

    A side-by-side comparison with past decades shows just how much our spending power has been weakened by inflation.


    8.5% corresponds to the 8.47 years it takes for your dollar becoming worth $.50. And that is just fine because all Americans can just go to work and ask for a raise, or so says Biden.

    When I came across Country via route 66 in 1963, a Motel was $7 a night.
    Todat it's $150. And gas back then was 31c gallon.
    What goes up doesn't come down despite what Newton said, it just goes up higher.
