I have always found it interesting that those who are so public about supporting the poor will not recognize the harm that inflation does.  Then again, a commodity money would limit government spending and it is inconceivable that anyone would want to starve the god of liberals and progressives.  It is more important to them then any consequences to the poor.

Sure, but the electronics are more sophisticated, the food choices are wider, the cars are better, and the highways are safer.

Implying that improvements in technology, nutrition and etc are impossible under commodity money which of course history disproves.
