In January 2001, the beginning of the George W Bush era, 5 of your US Dollars would buy an ounce of silver (80 bucks for pound of silver). Now it takes 34 of your US Dollars to buy an ounce of silver, 544 bucks to buy a pound of silver).
Your US Dollars are now worth 15 cents when compared to what it was worth is Janury 2001 silver.
