Comment Value of American currency has declined. (Score 0, Offtopic) 190
$100m is the new $20m. While this fact is virtually never reported, American currency has lost a huge amount of its actual spending value since 2007. A lot of this is hidden behind the lower quality, quantity or degree of innovation behind products; they're cheaper to make and so can be sold for the same price, which is worth less than it was.
When Americans wake up to how much they've lost, despite the numbers not changing all that much, they will surely write a lot of strongly-worded text messages to their representatives.
