And mine gets $7.19.

I most certainly was NOT complaining about your prices, Glenn!

I was simply trying to show that the value of our dollar has 
deteriorated very significantly since 1956.

In fact, if you trace the value of our dollar from 1800 to 2010, 
$1.00 in 1800 would equate to $12.65 in 2010.

And what is MOST interesting is that the value of our dollar stayed 
pretty much the same from 1800 to 1913....when it began its nearly 45 
degree down-angle.

1913 was the year when both the income tax and the Federal Reserve 
were put in place.
