#2 Ask Frank about his new truck.
I was window shopping replacing mine when the seat belt broke(?). A diesel one ton today, with the same capacity I need, would cost more than my first house in 1985.

#3 Back in the 60s, I could get a McDs basic hamburger, small fries and small drink for 45 cents. Yesterday, it was $4.50. However, back in the 60s I paid with a silver quarter and two silver dimes.

According to this site, that quarter at this moment is worth $4.31 and the dimes $1.72 each. So, technically its cheaper today than back then.

In ancient times when rulers would put base metal in the coinage it was known as 'debasing the currency'. Today, it's call Modern Economic Theory.
