It’s worth only about 5% what it used to be 100 years ago. Inflation is a tax, the taking of the wealth of the people by government. Money does not need to be managed. Open it up to competition and the market will determine the cost of a dollar. Curtail the power to inflate the money supply and Congress will no longer be able to borrow such horrendous amounts and the dollar will stabilize and strengthen.
