And you have some proof for that statement?As much as proof as anybody else offers for their assertions. ;-)
So how about this: there was a time when citizens needed gas-masks or nuclear bomb-shelters in their backyards. At one point there were nuclear weapons in Cuba and a serious risk of MAD. The people kept their chins up and coped. Surely we can cope with an economic contrivance that boils down to fear of inflation even though all of our international buddies would benefit if we all embraced it.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
